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.
