Creative searches in novel of B. Mukayi «Omirzaya»

It is known that many changes took place in life of the people and in their culture and art from that time, when our country declared own independence. Also notable changes in literature appeared. Consequences of domination of one aiming affected on all spheres of life during almost seventy years. Existence of ladder, but absence of rise by this ladder specifiesneed in rearrangement consciousness of descendants by means of language of new art. We can find out these features in every work of our literature. Especially, to take history, our past and present as the main theme, to count what we have, to start formation of new things bravely in ideological-content searches of difficult genre novels serve as the proof of triumph of our independence.

Our time used huge force to form national consciousness which studied on mistakes of past, although refused from strong rules.

Besides Kazakh novel took new shape during the independence time. Author’s searches are shown in the novels, positive influence of time is felt. «Refusal of our literature from method of socialistic realism, boring strong rules which are named class antagonism and getting fresh air of freedom of speechhelp to reach modern level» [1. p.210] This output of the article called «Independence period novel (viewpoints on personal, national, human aims)» of well-known writer, literature critic Sherniyazdan Eleukenov began to spread from late years of ХХ century, and nowadays it has own continue, it proves that it was appreciated in deserved level.

Now we can see an answer of the question «What features did literature get during the independence time» in this article:

«New literature is allocated through the national pathos. Sharp human consciousness, freedom-loving mind influenced on development of national character of literature. Through the finding out awful appearance of colonial policy, spreading all information about fighting for a free and peaceful lifeour national literature makes own mission before the people.

The shapes of old Kazakh traditions were opened in the literature of independence time which can be compared with foreign ones». [1. p. 211] Besides, in connetion with democracy of that time, which is not against to plurealism, existence of different viewpoints, political streams, a lot of works were written in social realism style. Literature considered that as normal thing». [1. p. 211]

Certainly, it is naturally that every epoch has own rules and laws, power of social consciousness working systematically. Is it true that every time, everywhere appreciating of what we have is together with comparing with the past. As continue of that the following question appears: What ideological content searches did today’s top of Kazakh novels getin normal development.

«Hundred and fifty years (not two hundred and fifty) of colonialism, especially, second part of period – Russian-soviet period was very difficult time for Kazakh people. Open, strong genocide – ... – reduced two times natural growth of kazakh which had huge area with big amount of people in own time, and make reduction in four-five times of final point...» [2. p.377]said writer M.Magauin defining the situation which Kazakh people felt. This our history of late time. New Kazakh novel did not stop on telling this bitter truth, finding the ideological side of national freedom idea which existed during this time. That is also true that we started reform our thoughts about our independence with help our history.

Although the difficulties which history got through ХХ century was transferred by works of art, the main sign is picture by words, monument done by literature.That shows free breathing of historical conciousness during the independence time. This breathing served as the beginning of exploration of new information about old history. Brave works of our writers who lived last decades of Soviet Union showed how is great our historical novel, and gives a lot of opportunity for its future. But, future of colonialized people is not clear; representatives of that people are not free. This is way of broking strong people.

It is known that intelligent people always notice material and spiritual condition of own people. Such intelligent person does anything for own people. At the beginning of describing such intelligence stand «Omirzaya» which was written by BakkhozhaMukayi in 1998. Main hero is historian – AyaganKuatov. Certainly, it does not demand on proving an importance of historians’ activities I order to get national consciousness. Because without knowledge about past, we cannot appreciate our present. Historical researching of AyaganKuatov’s work dedicated to son of Kenesary, Syzdyk, who e battled for the good of the people. It also known that writing on such themes was not only something new for society, but crime. This novel is about inner fighting of Kazakh intelligence of that time, which took place last 80-90years of Soviet period.

In the article called «Zobalan» dedicated to «Omirzaya» writer Mukhtar Magauin says, big consequence of connection colonialism with genocide is broking courage of people. Bakkhozha Mukayi’s novel «Omirzaya» is about slave’s mind, broking courage of people.» [2. p.378 ]

Omirzaya –star, which appeared before another stars and shinig near the moon. It cannot be seen when other stars appear. Name of this star which has own place on people’s mind found out own importance. That is similarity of short life and star at the sky. This meaning of star opened main theme of Bakkhozha Mukayi’s novel «Omirzaya».

Kazakh novel always tries to give plenty of life situation of people, especially, their happiness and difficulties. But «Omirzaya» is not bound of historical facts. Even the event of 1986 was only noted, but was not described completely. On the contrary, it was appreciated as an act from a hopelessness after thinking. Not taking main heroes as active people did not destroy ideological content of the novel. It makes novel more exciting that person who wanted to protect people’s willing was battled by own contemporaries. It seems we should know it as describing ofSoviet’s truth. And the concept «Soviet’s truth» should take own meaning. And Mukayi’s novel «Omirzaya» is work of describing this meaning. [2. p.379 ]

It is right that we think about historical novel when we talk about history. But, «Omirzaya»is not historical work. We can find out names of Brezhnev, Konayev, but they are not heroes of this novel. We can understand from first pages that a teacher of the main hero – AldiyarAkpanuly – researched history of Kenesary, who battled for freedom of own people, and felt many difficulties of life because of it. «Conclusion of this novel – AldiyarAkpanuly’s thinking» [2. p.380 ].

So son of such wise man got a drunkenness, lost father’s way. «I give you name of such respect person. I have a big desire of that you would do everything for your people. But, I confused, dear. He becomes my sadness» [3. p.5] said AldiyarAkpanuly to AyaganKuatov. How strong and brave was Aldiyar, but that situation connected with his son broke him. A fact that words «If you want to become a strong country, you should give right upbringing for youth» became true made him accept own destiny.

Also similarities between authors heroes and historical heroes are in this novel.«It seems that fantasy heroes get true appearance in historical shape. Two historians who were presented by author have character similarities with historical men. Professor Aldiyar is such person, who knew that he did not gain the society, but battled. He did not beg, ask for help. He did as Kenesary and believed that God helps. One way. «Only justice can transfer to truth», [3. p.6] » [1. p.239]

At the time, Ayagan looks like as Syzdyk. This similarity is not in appearance, but in big idea which gives full power» [1. p. 239]

Author says, «I dedicated this work to heroes, who battled for the freedom of our people [3. p.3 ].There openly discussed about ideological and content fighting of such heroes, who struggled for the people, and avoid to solve own problems before above mentioned. «The main concept of this work is fighting for the truth, It is known that in the battle we have two sides. Novel shows the difference between two sides. They are supporter of the truth and people who are against to the truth. [4. p.4]

Heroes of this novel are men who dedicated own life for a study and science and their followers. Professor Aldiyar Akpanuly, young scientist Ayagan Kuatov, Asylkhan, Khadisha are supporters of the truth, but rector Musa Bailarov, dean Zhakiya, collaborator of state safety committee, and their followers as Almas are contrary to the truth. And we can find out every person in true life. Also representatives of last group have power.

It is true that fighting between writers of people’s history never stop. Great words of Gabit Musirepov «today’s aims consider what is right or wrong in past events» shows that who won word fighting, that got everything.

There are many novels dedicated to science men in Kazakh literature. Each novel has facts about advantages and disadvantages of heroes’ activities. If we can find out one in Bakkhoza Mukayi’s novel «Omirzaya», next one we can find out in Abdizhamil Nurpeyisov’s «Songy paryz». In first one scientist are historians who explored past of the people, in the second novel it is described a fighting of ecological scientists for destiny of Aral sea. Besides, that fighting is not the main theme of novel. Always willing of the people, Earth problems on the first place. And these novels tell about how do people understand that problems, what do they do before the nature, or they do only own deals.

Reaching the main aim, beginning with the history, discussing periods which are history for present proves that those epochs influenced our national consciousness. These may be features which were got through an analysis that this novel which this article dedicated had state present of Kazakhstan in 2000. It is known that this novel cannot leave readers without any emotions because of its ideological and content searches. Especially, when they can find out such events and heroes in real life. Besides, this is history for society, epoch, truth of past for present.If actual works through the time get own importance, vitality of creative searches of Kazakh novel make literature critics believe in them.
