Abstract

Christa Wolf's novel Divided Sky provides a broad outline of the processes that took place in the life of the former German Democratic Republic in the 1960. It became one of the most important works of socialist realism in the literature of East Germany. It deals with the challenges facing the postwar divided Germany. For the right comprehension of the artistic world of Christa Wolf's Divided Sky it is necessary to identify the functions of marginal details. Structural-semantic method allows us to throw a new light on the issues discussed in the paper.
