REFLECTION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN WORLD FICTION

This paper presents an analysis of the reflection of the First World War as the greatest disaster that initiated the existence of the "lost generation" in world fiction. As our research has shown, not so many writers devoted pages of their works to this topic. However, such iconic authors as Erich Maria Remarque, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald became classics who created the image of the "lost generation" in their works. They talked without censorship and embellishment about the most terrible moments at the front, about the consequences faced by the surviving soldiers. Their works do not allow new generations to forget about the First World War and should remain the same postulate for centuries.
