ИНТЕРТЕКСТУАЛЬНЫЙ И СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНЫЙ КОНТЕКСТ ДИЛОГИИ ЮРИЯ БРЕЗАНА O КРАБАТЕ

This article analyzes intertextual references and the transformation of pan-European mythological motifs and images in J. Brězan’s dilogy novel about Krabat. It is concluded that the era of globalization as well as the German reunification make German writers search for new artistic ways of embodying traditional ontological conflicts in literary texts. This actualizes the usage of postmodern poetics’ principles, and also leads to a synthesis of juxtaposed biblical, historical, fable and mythological motifs and images within one piece of literature, a mode of writing untypical in the past.
