Особливості втілення концепту КРИЛА в літературі ХХ століття

The revaluation and devaluation of priorities in the culture of the 20th century led to a change in emphasis in the perception of this symbol. We will try to trace the peculiarities of implementing the concept of WINGS in works of Ukrainian and world literature, prose and poetry. Let's compare the portraits, the reasons for the appearance, and the meaningful content of the images of winged creatures in two works of a bright representative of magical realism by H. Marquez (the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and the short story “The Old Man with Wings”), the story of the outstanding fiction writer H. Wells “The Wonderful Visit”, the ballad of I. Drach “Wings” and the story “Wings” by the neorealist A. Dimarov . The work of H. Wells was written in 1895. Still, we include it in the same era as other works since we consider the 20th century not according to the calendar but from the point of view of the philosophy of alienation prevailing at that time. These trends and several scientific discoveries emerged at the end of the 19th century and gained particular sharpness in the art of the second half of the 20th century.
