Матыў смерці ў лірыцы Міхася Стральцова (Беларусь) і Анхела Гансалеса (Іспанія)

Resumen

The aim of our article is to compare the motif of death and its manifestations in the lyrical works of the Belarusian writer Michas Stralcou and the Spanish poet Angel Gonzalez. Said authors have been chosen because they represent the Belarusian “philological generation”, also known as the generation of “children of war”, and the Spanish “generation of 1950” Thus, the object of our investigation are the poetic works  of M. Stralcou and A. Gonzalez, and his subject, in turn, is the analysis of the motif of death in their works. We made our goal to realise a comparative analysis of said motif based on chosen poetic works by both authors; to find their main similarities and differences in their perception of the motif of death in the texts of each of the two poets. In order to complete our research, we analysed eight poetic works by M. Stralcou, which belong to his first anthology Ядлоўцавы куст (Minsk, 1973). In addition, we translated into the Belarusian language, then analyzed seven poems by A. Gonzalez, which belong to two of his anthologies: Palabra sobre palabra (Barcelona, ​​1986) and Otoño y otras luces (Barcelona, ​​2001). The results we obtained helped us in the identification and description of the motif of death in the poetry of M. Stralcou and M.ºGonzalez, and this will give us the opportunity to further analyse this motif in the literature of Spain and Belarus in the second half of the twentieth century, as well as to extend our research to other motifs, genres, eras and national literatures. This can open new perspectives not only for Belarusian, but also for Spanish comparative literature studies.
