Similarities And Differences Of War Depiction In J.Heller’s Novel “Catch 22” And Shukhrat’s Novel “Shinelli Yillar”

This article is devoted to the similarities and differences of the American writer Joseph Heller’s novel “Catch-22” and prominent Uzbek writer Shukhrat (Gulom Aminov)’s novel “Shinelli yillar”. While comparing these two novels, we can see some similar war actions at the same time it is clearly evident the differences between works. As a member of the Beat Generation and the post-World War II era, Heller developed a very satirical approach towards institutions, particularly the national government and the military. He was deeply cynical of war, which was best exemplified by the "black humor" of Catch-22, and he explored the difficulties of Jewish experience in postwar America. However, Shukhrat’s involment in the Second World War, seeing the ruined cities and villages, defeat and victory, prompted him to record a great novel by “Shinelli Yillar” in 1958.
