The article analyzes the sensory imagery in Andrei Volos’s novel Return to Panjrud, where the East is portrayed as a multidimensional, sensual space. Through sounds, smells, and colors, the author creates a vivid and tangible image of the East, allowing the reader not only to observe but to physically experience the depicted world. Special attention is given to the soundscape – from the resonant azan to the bustle of bazaars and the quiet of the night. Olfactory imagery (scents of grass, fruit, smoke, milk) conveys the depth of daily life, cultural memory, and emotional atmosphere. Color in the novel functions not only descriptively but symbolically, expressing the sacred, the historical, and the corporeal aspects of Eastern space. The article examines key spatial loci of the novel – Bukhara, Samarkand, Vabkent, and Panjrud – each revealed through a complex of sensory impressions. The study concludes, that the sensory code in Volos’s novel is a fundamental means of artistic understanding of the East – not as exoticism, but as a living, spiritualized space in which nature, culture, and human consciousness merge.

Keywords:Andrei Volos, the East, sensory perception, sound, smell, color, Return to Panjrud, artistic world
