About the book: 1983 / The book presents works of the school of "new novel" - "Change" (1957) by M. Butor, "In the Labyrinth" (1959) by A. Robbe-Grillet, "Roads of Flanders" (1960) by C. Simon and "Can you hear them?" (1972) N. Sarraute. In their best works, the “new novelists” capture significant social phenomena, crisis aspects of consciousness shocked by war, the lack of spirituality of life and the exhaustion of moral guidelines offered by bourgeois society.
