Journal Title: Проблеми сучасного літературознавства - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 24
Abstract
The article depicts the features in the reconstruction of past events in the newest novel - Slovak, Ukrainian, Czech. The article reveals their common features: an appeal to the dramatic pages of the Second World War, women's fate in extreme conditions, the artistic reflection of moral lessons of the past for our time. Slovak writer P.Rankov in his novel "Mothers" updates the events of the postwar period in the light of the illegally repressed woman fate who in inhuman conditions logging camp gives birth to a child. Ukrainian writer M.Matios in her novel "Solodka Darusia" also reflects the post war period, but the dramatic fate of the characters associated with the trauma of the past when the mountain village changed the government, and among them was the most brutal Stalinist totalitarian system. Czech author K.Tuchkova in the centre of the narrative (novel "Zhytkovski bogyni") marked the history of women in the White Carpathians, engaged in quackery. They were persecuted by Nazi invaders and Soviet punitive agencies. In each of the analyzed works complex and problematic thematic layers ontological content are originally implemented, but they are united by a complex compositional structure. This combination and interaction of different time planes accentuation on storylines dedicated today since we believe that without understanding the lessons of moral and human tragedies of the past we can not move forward. Thus the article observes two trends in modern European literature. The first of these is increased beginning in documentary storytelling, use of archival materials, memoirs. This indicates a departure from postmodernism. The second trend is the expansion of the boundaries in the historical novel, which is an important event-history background, but the focus of the author is on the destiny of man, his psychology, the choice between good and evil, between humility and fear. This process modification demonstrates the historical novel of XXI century in European literature that takes an anthropological dimension.
