Abstract
The article considers the features of artistic thinking of the phenomenon of war in Ukrainian and foreign literature. Trends of development of the national anti-war novel discourse are seen through the background of the world literary process. Deep potential of artistic literature in the comprehension of the phenomenon of war with the powerful creative possibilities of the word is determined. The origins of the anti-war novel as part of military literature is traced in the heroic epic. The influence of the epic novel by L. Tolstoi "War and Peace" (1869) as the origin of the anti-war genre is defined. A novel-anticipation, a novel-warning of war, novel-caution by G. Wells, Jack London, H. Hesse, K. Chapek is considered as the fundamental basis of the genre system of the anti-war novel. Attention is drawn to the work "Loyal" ("Der Untertan") by H. Mann as the first anti-fascist novel. The main periods in the development of anti-war novel associated with the events of World War I, World War II, and, accordingly, the interwar and postwar periods are identified. Attention is paid to the artistic interpretation of wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Chechnya etc. Also the examples of anti-war novel in the Western European, America, and Soviet literatures are given. Novels "All Quiet on the Western Front" ("Im Westen nichts Neues") by E.M. Remarque, "Death of a Hero" by R. Oldington and "A Farewell to Arms!" by E. Hemingway is presented as the chrestomathy examples of the anti-war genre, published in 1929 in different parts of the world. Special attention is paid to the traditions of Ukrainian anti-war novel on the material of works by Ivan Bahrianyi, O. Honchar, P. Zahrebelnyi, U. Samchuk, O. Syzonenko, M. Stelmakh, Yu. Yanovskyi and others. Novels, which reflected the events of Maidan 2013–2014 and modern Russian-Ukrainian war are outlined, in particular “Mariupol Process” (2015) by H. Vdovychenko, “Fiery Winter” (2015) by A. Kokotiuha, “Airport” (2015) by S. Loiko, “Ilovaisk” (2015), “Five Second, Five Days” (2016) by Ye. Pologii, “Raw Nerve” (2015) by S.
