Genre Peculiarities of War Novel in the Modern Belarusian Literature (the Topic of Great Patriotic War)
World War II exceeded all boundaries searing into the literary memory of the humankind for time and all eternity. Modern Belarusian writers totally opposing to the practice of war or representations of violence continue seeking ways of recalling the unbounded and unprecedented representation of the conflict. The inflection point between centuries has witnessed a dramatic transformation in the Belarusian experience of war, which marks its present representation. The modern literature has turned the never-ending story of the Great Patriotic war into more than symbol of a glorious and tragical past, but into the emphasis of horror and futility of war that seems abnormal and unnatural for people whosoever they are.
