Kazakh literature in the 1960s. Kazakh literature: past and present

centuries, already by this time the Turkic-speaking tribes of Kazakhstan had an oral poetic tradition dating back to an earlier period. This is also confirmed by various elements of epic poetry (epithets, metaphors and other literary devices) found in the Orkhon monuments - the texts of the tombstone steles of Kultegin and Bilge Kagan, telling about the events of the 5th-7th centuries.

Epics “Korkyt-Ata” and “Oguzname”

On the territory of modern Kazakhstan, the most famous ancient epics in the Turkic languages ​​- “Korkyt-Ata” and “Oguzname” - developed.

Heroic and lyrical poems

It is no secret that since the birth of the Kazakh poetic tradition, its main and indispensable figure has been the national poet-improviser - akyn. It is thanks to the akyns that numerous epic works, fairy tales, songs, and poems written several centuries ago have come down to us. Kazakh folklore includes more than 40 genre varieties, some of which are characteristic only of it - petition songs, letter songs, etc. Songs, in turn, are divided into shepherd, ritual, historical and everyday songs. Poems can also be divided into heroic, that is, telling about the exploits of heroes (“Kobylandy Batyr”, “Er-Targyn”, “Alpamys Batyr”, “Kambar Batyr”, etc.), and lyrical, glorifying the selfless love of heroes (“Goats- Korpesh and Bayan-Sulu", "Kyz-Zhibek").

He also translated Pushkin, Lermontov, Krylov, Schiller, and was a reformer of the Kazakh literary language.

At the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. a group of “scribes”, which included Nurzhan Naushabaev, Mashur-Zhusup Kopeev and others, actively preached patriarchal views and collected folklore material. Nationalist forces were grouped around the Kazakh newspaper - Akhmet Baitursynov, Mirzhakip Dulatov, Magzhan Zhumabaev, who after 1917 went over to the counter-revolutionary camp.

Creativity of Zhambyl Zhabayev

During the Soviet period, the work of the Kazakh folk poet-akyn Zhambyl Zhabayev, who sang to the accompaniment of a dombra in the tolgau style, became most famous in the USSR. Many epics were written down from his words, for example, “Suranshi-batyr” and “Utegen-batyr”. After the October Revolution, new themes appeared in Dzhambul’s work (“Hymn to October,” “My Motherland,” “In the Lenin Mausoleum,” “Lenin and Stalin”). His songs included almost all the heroes of the Soviet power pantheon; they were given the features of heroes and heroes. Zhambul's songs were translated into Russian and the languages ​​of the peoples of the USSR, received popular recognition and were fully used by Soviet propaganda. During the Great Patriotic War, Zhambyl wrote patriotic works calling the Soviet people to fight the enemy (“Leningraders, my children!”, “At the hour when Stalin calls,” etc.)

What works of contemporary writers and poets of Kazakhstan resonate with you?

When someone starts talking about the literature of Kazakhstan, Abai Kunanbayev, Mukhtar Auezov, Olzhas Suleimenov and many, many others come to mind. Who can we remember from the school course of Kazakh literature? Classics. However, whatever one may say, poetry and prose are a reflection of the spirit of the time, and if we learned in full about what happened 200, 100, 50 and even 25 years ago, then the literary face of our time is hidden in the shadow of ignorance.

Editorial “C” conducts educational work and writes about those who write about everything, including, perhaps, even us.

Pavel Bannikov

Oppositionist of the conservative "Union of Writers", co-director of a poetry seminar at the progressive "Open Literary School of Almaty", co-founder of the anti-periodical publication " Yshsho odyn”, an eternal marginalized person (like most modern Kazakh poets) and a person who knows first-hand why domestic literature cannot yet reach the masses: a writer cannot publish because publishing houses are still suffering from the Soviet censorship syndrome, the reader is not ready , he is lost in choice and, like in a supermarket, he would rather take something “with a name” than with the “made in Kazakhstan” brand.

However, Pavel is a creator who looks at things, as they say, with faith in the best, well, we will take his example and wait for new literary exploits.

Zaire Asim

Poet and novelist

I did not study as a philologist or even as a journalist, but graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics of KazNU. al-Farabi. He does not work in an editorial office or publishing house, but gives lessons in Argentine tango (and mathematics).

Ilya Odegov

Prose writer

Perhaps the most widely known writer from Kazakhstan in narrow circles, winner of the international literary competition “Russian Prize”, laureate of the “Modern Kazakhstan Novel” award and winner of many other titles and awards that you most likely have not heard of, but in the literary community this solid, respected and prestigious.

If most people who undertake to write these days are literary collections, then Ilya Odegov is a whole library. The man to whom literature came on its own. The main, general idea of ​​his works is faith in people and in circumstances that can change these people. For better or for worse, you will only find out by reading.

Aigerim Tazhi

Poetess

Playing tic-tac-toe with God.

He draws stars in the sky, and I

I throw stones into the green water.

We miss you. Draw.

We sincerely believe that in order to feel and at least try to understand all the feelings that the author puts into his works, you need to find and study them yourself.

All we can say about Aigerim is that, for a moment, it is published not only in the territory of the post-Soviet space, but also beyond the distant Atlantic Ocean. Life in Kazakhstan, where West and East, Russian, Kazakh, English and many other languages ​​and cultures are intertwined, literally deprived her creativity of boundaries and made it absolutely understandable to any person on planet Earth. The rest is up to you.

KAZAKH LITERATURE– literature in the Kazakh language, created by Kazakh authors on the territory of Kazakhstan from about the 15th century.

In its modern form, the Kazakh language was formed and acquired its own grammar in the 19th–20th centuries, but the roots of oral folk art go back to the deep past. The forerunners of Kazakh literature can be considered the authors of medieval works in Persian and Chagatai.

As Chinese chronicles of the 6th–8th centuries testify, the Turkic-speaking tribes of Kazakhstan by that time already had an oral poetic tradition dating back to an earlier period. Legends and traditions about the sacred land of Otuken have been preserved. Dreams of a peaceful life were reflected in the legends about the fabulous Yergen-Kong mountain valley, inaccessible to enemies. Elements of epic poetry (epithets, metaphors) are found in the Orkhon monuments - the texts of the tombstone steles of Kultegin and Bilge Kagan, telling about the events of the 5th–7th centuries. Kultegin's inscription preserves the motif of ancestral ritual poetry, which later turned into epic - mourning for the deceased.

On the territory of Kazakhstan, famous ancient epics in Turkic languages ​​developed - Korkyt-Ata And Oguz-name. Orally distributed epic Korkyt-Ata, which arose in the Kipchak-Oguz environment of the Syr Darya basin in the 8th–10th centuries, was recorded in the 14th–16th centuries.

Kazakh folklore includes more than 40 genre varieties, some of which are characteristic only of it - petition songs, letter songs, etc. Songs are divided into pastoral, ritual, historical and everyday. Poems can also be divided into heroic ones, telling about the exploits of heroes - Koblandy, Er-Targyn, Alpamys, Kambar-batyr and others and lyrical ones, glorifying the selfless love of heroes, - Kozy-Korpesh and Bayan-Slu, Kyz-Zhibek and etc.

In the 6th–9th centuries. Buddhism came to the Kazakh steppes ( cm. BUDDHA AND BUDDHISM), the beginnings of Christianity and Manichaeism. The beliefs of the population of medieval Kazakhstan were distinguished by diversity and syncretism. However, starting from the 9th century. the picture is gradually changing. Nomadic pastoralists continue to profess the cult of Ten-Gri, and in settled agricultural areas Islam spreads, and religious literature begins to develop.

During the period of the spread of Islam, the literary language remained variegated and heterogeneous; written literature developed mainly in cities. The works of dervish poets and writers played a significant place in the cultural life of the urban population. One of the most famous was the son of a steppe musician, preacher of Islam Khoja Akhmet Yasawi (d. 1167), author of a collection of poems with religious and mystical content Divani Hikmet(Book of Wisdom). In his work, Yassawi preached asceticism and humility, believing that the path to truth is the path to God. The book contains a lot of cultural, historical, ethnographic information about the tribes of that time. Yassawi's student Suleimen Bakyrgani is the author of the collection Zamu Nazir Kitaby(Book about the end of the world). It tells that during the end of the world everything that exists will perish, but God will create the world again and everything will be reborn again. Over the next centuries, the books of Yassawi and Bakyrgani were mandatory teaching aids in madrassas in Central Asia and Kazakhstan. Hibat ul-Hakayk(Gift of Truth) – the only book by Azib Akhmet Mahmud-uly Yugnek (late 12th century) called for a decent life, hard work, the pursuit of knowledge and humanity.

The earliest works of oral folk art, whose authorship can be considered established, date back to the 15th century. In the 16th century the works of the legendary Asan-Kaigy and the akyns of Dospambet and Shalkiiz were well known in the 17th century. - Akyn of Bukhara-zhyrau Kalkamanov, author of poignant political poems. In Kazakhstan, a tradition has developed of holding song and poetry competitions between akyns - aitys. Genres of songs began to stand out: tolgau - philosophical reflection, arnau - dedication, etc. In the 18th–19th centuries. In the works of akyns Makhambet Utemisov, Sherniyaz Zharylgasov, Suyunbai Aronov, new themes appear - calls to fight against bais and biys. At the same time, akyns Dulat Babataev, Shortanbai Kanaev, Murat Monkeyev represented a conservative trend, idealizing the patriarchal past and praising religion. Akyns of the 2nd half of the 19th century. Birzhan Kozhagulov, Aset Naimanbaev, poetess Sara Tastanbekova, Dzhambul and others used aitys as a form of expression of public opinion, defending social justice.

Kazakh written literature in its modern form began to take shape only in the 2nd half of the 19th century. influenced by contacts and dialogue with Russian culture. At the origins of this process are the Kazakh educators Chokan Valikhanov, Ibray Altynsarin and Abai Kunanbaev.

Chokan Valikhanov (1835–1865) was the first Kazakh scientist, educator, historian, ethnographer, traveler and diplomat. The great-grandson of Khan Ablai, he was born into a pro-Russian family, studied Arabic at a Kazakh school and became acquainted with oriental poetry and literature. He graduated from the Omsk Cadet Corps, which was a kind of Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum for the Asian part of Russia.

His duties included the functions of a historiographer and participation in expeditions to Issyk-Kul, Gulja, Kashgar, during which Valikhanov kept his travel diaries, on the basis of which essays were written about the Kyrgyz (as the Kazakhs were called in the 19th century) - about their history , social tribal structure, morals and customs, myths and legends ( Notes on the Kirghiz).

He was the first to record and translate part of the heroic epic into Russian Manas – Death of Kukotai Khan and his commemoration And, folk epic poem Kozy-Korpesh and Bayan-sulu. In his works, Valikhanov paid a lot of attention to the peculiarities of the improvisational art of akyns and the rhythm of Kazakh verse. A number of his studies are devoted to the study of the Zoroastrian roots of the Kazakh mentality and the syncretism of shamanism with Islam among the steppe peoples – Traces of shamanism among the Kyrgyz(Kazakhs),About Islam in the steppe.

Dostoevsky, S.V. Durov, I. N.Berezin, A.N.Beketov. On the recommendation of P.P. Semenov-Tyan-Shansky, he was accepted as a full member of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society.

Remaining an idealist in his understanding of social life, Valikhanov condemned the arbitrariness of the Kazakh feudal lords and the colonialist policy of tsarism, and spoke out for introducing the Kazakhs to Russian culture.

Ibray Altynsarin (1841–1889) also graduated from the Russian-Kazakh school, worked as a translator in Orenburg, as a teacher and school inspector. At the same time, he sought to open as many Russian schools for Kazakh youth as possible.

His work determined the cultural and educational movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and had a huge impact on the subsequent development of the Kazakh literary language.

Kunanbaev received a classical oriental education. In the madrasah of Imam Ahmet-Riza, he studied Arabic, Persian, and other oriental languages, became acquainted with classical Persian literature - Ferdowsi, Nizami, Saadi, Hafiz, etc. At the same time, violating the ban of the madrasah, he attended a Russian parish school.

Krylov, and foreign classics into Kazakh, writes Kazakh songs based on the words of excerpts from Eugene Onegin. The most famous is his elegy, set to music, Karangi tunde tau kalgyp– poetic translation by Lermontov Night Song of the Wanderer Goethe.

At the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. a group of “scribes”, which included Nurzhan Naushabaev, Mashur-Zhusup Kopeev and others, preached patriarchal views and collected folklore. Nationalist forces grouped around the newspaper “Kazakh” (1913): A. Baitursunov, M. Dulatov, M. Zhumabaev, who after 1917 moved to the counter-revolutionary camp.

After the October Revolution, social motives and themes of socialist construction actively developed in the works of akyns Dzhambul Dzhambaev, Nurpeis Baiganin, Doskey Alimbaev, Nartay Bekezhanov, Omar Shipin, Kenen Azerbaev.

During the Soviet period, the work of the Kazakh folk poet-akyn Dzhambul Dzhambaev (1846–1945), who sang to the accompaniment of a domra in the tolgau style, became most famous in the USSR. Epics were written from his words Suranshi-batyr , Utegen-batyr , fairy tales Khan and akyn,The Tale of the Lazy Man etc. After the October Revolution in creativity Dzhambula new topics have appeared - Hymn to October, My motherland, In the Lenin Mausoleum,Lenin and Stalin(1936).

Dzhambul's songs were translated into Russian and the languages ​​of the peoples of the USSR, received a nationwide appeal and were fully used by Soviet propaganda. During the Great Patriotic War, Dzhambul wrote patriotic works calling on the Soviet people to fight the enemy - Leningraders, my children!, At the hour when Stalin calls(1941), etc. In 1941 he became a laureate of the Stalin Prize.

Combining oral forms with literary ones, Dzhambul developed a new poetic style, distinguished by psychological richness, concrete depiction of social life, sincerity and simplicity of narration.

The founders of Kazakh Soviet literature were the poets Saken Seifullin (poems Sovetstan ,Albatross , Socialistan , stories Diggers , Fruit ), Baimagambet Iztolin, Ilyas Dzhansugurov (poems Steppe , Musician , Kulager ), writers Mukhtar Auezov ( Night rumbles ), Sabit Mukanov (socio-historical novel Botagoz(Mysterious Banner)), Beimbet Maylin (story Communist Raushan, novel Azamat Azamych).

In 1926, the Kazakh Association of Proletarian Writers was created, which in the first years of its existence fought against nationalist manifestations in literature. The almanac “Zhyl Kusy” (“The First Swallow”) (since 1927) and the magazine “Zhana Adabiet” (New Literature) (since 1928) began to be published. In 1934, the Writers' Union of Kazakhstan was created, and later sections of Russian and Uyghur writers began to work within it.

The first to respond to the events of the Patriotic War in Kazakh literature was civil-patriotic poetry - the poem by K. Amanzholov The Legend of the Death of a Poet (1944) about the feat of the poet Abdulla Dzhumagaliev who died near Moscow, poems by Tokmagambetov, Zharokov, Ormanov and others. After the war, novels appeared Soldier from Kazakhstan Musrepova (1949), Courland Nurneisova (1950), Terrible days Akhtapov (1957), memoirs of Momyshuly Moscow is behind us (1959).

Post-war Kazakh literature mastered large forms of the “big” Soviet style, gravitating towards large-scale literary forms - novels, trilogies, poems and novels in verse (Mukanov, Mustafin, Shashkin, Ergaliev, Kairbekov, Muldagaliev, etc.). Drama (Khusainov, Abishev, Tazhibaev) and science fiction (Sarsekeev, Alimbaev) developed.

In the 1970s, the attention of readers was attracted by the book of the Kazakh poet and writer Olzhas Suleimenov (b. 1936 )Az and I (1975), known for his collections Good sunrise time (1961),Over white rivers (1970),Repeating at noon (1975). In it, he developed ideas about the kinship of the Kazakhs and ancient Sumerians, drew attention to the large number of words of Turkic origin in the Russian language, which, in his opinion, indicated the strong influence of Turkic culture on Russian. In a lively discussion that unfolded in the press, Suleimenov was accused of “pan-Turkism” and nationalism.

The late 1990s - early 2000s, the literature of Kazakhstan is characterized by attempts to comprehend postmodern Western experiments in literature and the possibility of using techniques of deconstruction and “thickening” of the text (see POSTMODERNISM IN LITERATURE) - B. Kanapyanov, D. Amantai. The works of famous and little-known authors - Smagul Saduakasov, Kokserek and other short stories by M. Auezov, End of the legend, abyss, Bay horse Abisha Kekilbaya, Time of Troubles, Death of a Greyhound Mukhtar Magauin, stories by Oralkhan Bokey.

The literature of Kazakhstan continues to develop in the context of global civilization, absorbing and developing new cultural trends, taking into account its own capabilities and interests.
