Abstract

This article explores the influence of magical realism on culture and literature. It examines how magical realism intersects with mythology, folklore, historical memory, and postmodernism. The study analyzes works by Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Haruki Murakami, Italo Calvino, Angela Carter, and Salman Rushdie, as well as Stephen King’s novels and their film adaptations («The Green Mile», «Doctor Sleep», «It», «The Shining»). The research highlights the relationship between magical realism, folklore, historical heritage, and contemporary cinema.
