The Tragedy of the "Lost Generation" in English and Uzbek Literature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786208452414)

This monograph examines the psychological and social dimensions of the "Lost Generation" as portrayed in 20th-century English and Uzbek literature. Emerging from the devastation of war - particularly World Wars I and II - the term "Lost Generation" refers to individuals disillusioned by violence, loss, and the collapse of ideals. The study explores the historical origins of the term, its literary representations, and its thematic depth through the lenses of war, love, and post-war trauma. It compares wartime and post-war works by English and Uzbek authors, focusing on themes such as emotional exile, moral disintegration, and the devaluation of human life. Special attention is given to characters - soldiers, civilians, and survivors - whose psychological scars reflect a broader human tragedy. The monograph underscores literature's role in capturing both the horrors of war and the persistent search for meaning and hope in the aftermath of loss.
