In the dissertation we made an attempt to analyze the tales and novels written by E. Hutsalo from the narratological point of view. The suggested point of view is actual due to the fact that we haven't traced any earlier narratological investigations of the given author. The investigation provides the general characteristics of the literary style of a writers' generation who lived and worked in the 60s of the XX century. Also there is an attempt to analyze the most popular thoughts about the notion of narratology as the theory of narration, the narrative itself, its forms and subjects. Besides the general characteristics of the author and his or her creative conscience are given in the dissertation. The analysis of the tales and novels written by E. Hutsalo revealed the most common narrative models, among which are the ones with the predomination of the first-person narration and the samples with the third-person narration prevailing. The first groups of the literary works written by the author under analysis demonstrated the vivid presence of the homodiegetic, intradiegetic narrator who correlates to the hero-protagonist. The first- person narration in the given group is often presented in the specific form of the so called you-narration and we-narration. The second group of the analyzed prose exposed the presence of the heterodiegetic, extradiegetic narrator, associated with the author's image. The third person narration singular exposes the narrator's omniscient point of view, and is rarely changed into the third person narration plural. A narrative model is understood as a complex unity of the types of narration, its subjects, focalization in a diegesis of a concrete literary work. The dissertation is based on the understanding and classification of the narrative, its types and subjects, suggested by G. Genette. The structure of the given thesis corresponds to its main objectives. The tales and novels are analyzed being grouped in accordance with the mentioned above division into two main groups - the first-person narrative models and the third-person narrative models. The first-person narration in the literary works written by E. Hutsalo creates a specific micro-climate in the diegesis, introducing the world of the first-person narrator to the recipient. The author dissolves in the image of a hero, but his life-credo is indirectly spoken by means of the narrator. The camera eye effect provokes the recipient's feeling of the physical presence in the diegesis of a tale or a novel under consideration. The so called you-narration is materialized in the text through the author's vivid metamorphosis. E. Hutsalo proclaims the necessity of a harmonic co-existence of the world of nature and the human world in the role of a ten-year-old narrator-boy or directly in his own writer's comments in the form of the third-person narration, demonstrating the omniscient point of view. The author reaches the high psychological level of his literary works with the help of the portrait details, descriptions, scenery, and psychological portraits. Having a bright variety of different narrative forms, the author's narration exposes the rapid usage of the unusual syntactic constructions, like the ellipses or inversion. Sometimes the writer suggests irony as a means of the exposure of his own life-credo through the indirect criticism of the false ideals. The author's irony is obvious in the vivid monologues, psychological polilogues, in characters' dreams and deliriums, and in the bright philosophical reflections. Sometimes the author uses the specific folklore allegories which help him to disclose some deviations from the traditional understanding of such notions as family, moral, good fame. That also helps the writer in the indirect criticizing of some negative phenomena in the contemporary society. The third person narration borders with the characters' voices. The voice of the characters and the hero-protagonist are exposed the best in the dialogical speech. Dialogue provides the high psychological and dramatic quality of a tale or a novel under consideration. It helps to solve different problems and to expose their roots and reasons. The characters' inner speech is usually materialized through the highly psychological reflections or presented directly in the text by means of a character's voice. Besides the narrator's speech the literary works with the predomination of the third-person narration have the so called direct author's intrusion in the from of the author's comments. They proclaim the writer's vision of an ideal life model which presupposes the harmonic co-existence of a human-being with other people and with the mysterious world of the nature. Nature in the tales and novels written by E. Hutsalo serves as a means of the creation and transmission of a certain mood. It helps the author to expose different conflicts, to concentrate at the inner world of a character. The writer reveals the slightest changes in the mood of a hero or in a literary work with the help of the descriptive pictures, usually materialized in the third-person narration of the omniscient narrator. In his literary works E. Hutsalo opposes harmony, love, sincerity to fear, hatred, hypocrisy. Fear breads the destruction of a person's inner world and as a result - the destruction of his or her personality. The outer circumstances which bread fear are destructive to all human. The mentioned above ideas are the most vividly materialized in the author's narration.
