Новый роман

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the best books of a renowned French writer on the background of the birth of the last vivid literary trend in the French literature of the XXth century – the New Novel, one of the outstanding representatives of which was A. Robbe-Grillet. This article comprises historical and literary commentary and, where necessary, short analysis of the most significant features of the writer’s style.

The article analyzes some special features of Robert Pinget’s style based on the comparative analysis of the original and the Russian translation.
