Abstract. The article deals with bestiary images in the novels by the Austrian writers Franz Werfel (1890-1945) and Elias Canetti (1905-1994). The allegorical figures of animals, endowed with anthropomorphic characteristics, constitute a wide bestiary of world literature. In the aesthetics of the novels "The Pure in Heart" ("Barbara oder die Fr?mmigkeit", 1929) by Franz Werfel and "Auto-Da-F?" ("Die Blendung", 1931-1932) by Elias Canetti they are closely connected with the religious search of the authors, who turned not only to Christianity, but also to the Eastern religious and philosophical tradition in the early 1930s. The mechanisms of "translating" the realistic image of an animal into the subjective-psychological and symbolic-allegorical plane are studied.
