description The novels “The Way of Muri” by Ilya Boyashov and “Chronicles of a Stray Cat” by Hiro Arikawa from the point of view of the concept of the path are examined in the article. The relationship between the motive of the road and the image of the animal is analyzed. The comparative-historical method of research makes it possible to reveal the presence of significant parallels in the problems and poetics of the works. It has been established that the image of the road, traditionally symbolizing the path of life, in the novels of I. Boyashov and H. Arikawa is actualized in relation to the animal, and not only to man. Animals and people in these works, in search of a home as their place in life, go through a certain path both in terms of space, and in time, and in psychological terms. In both novels, the animal has the ability to make decisions on its own and have its own path in life, but at the same time, its path is inextricably linked with the fate of people who for it personify the home, native space, the harmony of being. Both I. Boyashov and H. Arikawa comprehend the way as the essence of being and consider it one of the constants of life for both man and animal.
