    Abstract:
    The article provides a comparative analysis of symbols and symbolic structures in the novels “The Book Thief” by the Australian writer M. Zusak and “The Golden Cloud” by the Soviet author A. Pristavkin. Despite the differences in cultural and historical context — the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the deportation of peoples in the Soviet Union — both works share a typological similarity in their use of symbolic strategies to represent the children’s experiences of war. The theoretical basis of the study is the works on philosophy and the theory of symbol, narratology, the theory of trauma, and the concept of multidirectional memory by M. Rothberg. The methodology includes comparative, structural-semantic, motivational, narratological, contextual, and intertextual analysis. The study reveals the universal mechanisms of symbolization of traumatic experience: the symbolism of the word and the book as means of resistance to a totalitarian regime, salvation, and preservation of cultural memory; symbolic motifs of duality and twinning; symbolic-narrative function of the Death image, color symbolism. It is shown that, despite the commonality of key themes (childhood and war, orphanhood, repressions), the texts demonstrate different models of access to the word: active mastery of culture in M. Zusak and exclusion from the world of culture in the characters of A. Pristavkin. The use of a comprehensive methodology allows us to demonstrate how both authors use symbolic structures to articulate the experience of historical catastrophe.
