the first World War, exactly in the direction o f the "lost generation". This problem is addressed
by the well-known German researcher H.Kleyn also noted: "in modem comparative literature,
works on the theme o f the first World War have not been studied extensively enough" [1,17]. By
studying the works o f western writers on the theme o f the first World War, it is possible to take a
step to a new stage in the field o f scientific research o f the Uzbek military prose, further
enriching the issues o f momparative literature. In particular, the study o f the novels o f the
German writer Erih Maria Remark about the "Lost Generation" is in good effect in this regard.
Various scientific studies have been conducted on the issue o f the interpretation of the "lost
generation" in the creation o f Remark. In particular, the issues o f motivation, image and
interpretation, expressed by the writer in his works on this topic, M.Parvanova, O.Pokhalenkov,
A.Matveev it was studied in detail by such researchers. Including M.Parvanova focuses her main
attention on the expression o f motivations in Remark novels in her monograph, which came out
in Germany in 2003-th year. The researcher notes the study of the process o f generating
motivations using symbolic images, elements o f symbolism in Remark works as one o f the main
objectives o f the work [2, 11]. Russian researcher O.Pokhalenkov Remark's novel “All Quiet on
the Western Front” ("Im Westen nicht Neues") divides the life o f the protagonist in the work into
3 stages, comparing it with another German writer Amo Zurminsky's novel "Fatherland without
a father"("Vaterland oline Vater"): 1) moving away from people; 2) front past; 3) rebirth [3, 110-
111]. These stages are arranged on the basis o f the processes in the consciousness and psyche of
the heroes. In general, the theme o f the war in the creation o f Remark, the image o f the "lost
generation" takes the leading place. In particular, the direct front-line past o f representatives of
the "Lost generation"forms the basis o f the no vel" “All Quiet on the Western Front” ("Im Westen
nicht Neues”). In this novel o f the Remark, the image o f the tragic circumstances on the
battlefield is reflected, the changes that have arisen in the minds, psyche o f the heroes, who have
seen the horrors o f the front with their own eyes, teenager thrown into the battlefield. The
following short sentences, which are listed at the beginning o f the novel, serve as the author's
preface: "This book is neither an accusation nor pardon. It is simply an interpretation o f the
dream about a generation that was died from the very beginning o f the war, although it survived
the lily o f the arrow, but became victims o f this war.” ( “Dieses Buck soil weder eine Anklage
noch ein Bekenntnis sein. Es soli nur den Versuch machen, tiber eine Generation zu berichten,
die vom Kriege zerstort wurde - auch wenn sie sienen Granaten entkam) [4,2]. From the initial
sentences, brief information is provided about the content o f the work. During the events o f the
work, this small information is described as living lite landscapes through artistic images. The
tragic fate o f the younger generation, who took part in the war, is described by the example of
the fate o f several typical images: Boymer, Kropp, Muller, Tyaden, Leyer, Kemmerix,
Katchinsky. These heroes dream o f sacrificing life for Homeland, not winning or becoming a
hero, but quickly returning to their homes, to a peaceful life. At this time, these heroes are
described in a situation where they lost their spiritual appearance in the influence o f war, became
people devoid o f high dreams or goals. However, they nevertheless managed to preserve their
human qualities to some extent. They realize the original truth as soon as the war itself. The
following points from the language o f the work, the protagonist Paul Boymer, are evidence of
this: "they were still writing articles, speaking speeches; and we could see that the portable
hospital soul was surrendering. They still have no higher blessing than to serve the motherland,
ayuhannos said; and we knew that the horror o f death was stronger than it... we fell from the it to
the whirlpool of a terrible loneliness, now we need to find ourselves the way out o f this
