Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the features and elements of the poetics of the anti-war novel, their close connection with the “category of war letters” and the “poetics of testimony” on the example of the novel Grad u cvatu magnolije by Mehmed Pargan. The focus of the discussion is on the relationship between history and fiction, through which an attempt is made to clarify the connection between the ethics of a literary work and the aesthetics of historiography in the context of finding (literary) truth and cultivating collective memory. The paper points out the principle of composing and structuring the mentioned narrative, which is based on, as we defined it, divided poetics, poetics that is realized between the ethics of historiography and the aesthetics of postmodern fiction.
