Abstract

The large-scale social processes taking place in the society today affect a variety of its aspects and determine the development of the literary process. The emergence of socially oriented fiction is an integral feature of the modern society. The most important feature of this kind of fiction is its orientation towards any member of society, the desire to harmonize the relations in the society, to show possible ways to resolve acute social contradictions associated, among other things, with the ubiquitous processes of globalization, the consequence of which is a rapid increase in migration flows around the world.
