Type: article
Abstract: The main aim of this article is the study of the creativity of the Kazakh poets and prose writers in historical and literary perspective. It is important to consider the artistic process not in isolation, but in its increasing relationship with such socio-ideological phenomena as deepening national self-awareness, strengthening the State's international authority, and formation of patriotism. Modern literature of Kazakhstan is presented on the example of the creative writings of the poet, prose writer, translator, and screenwriter Bakhytzhan Kanapyanov. This study is based on the works of foreign and domestic scientists. Attention is paid to publications in highly rated foreign peer-reviewed journals. As a result of the selection of literary material, the following prose works by B. Kanapyanov were identified as the research object: the stories "Postal Canvas", "A Walk Before Eternity", "Bakhchisaray", "The Overseas Guest" and the film story "The Last Autumn of the Poet". The diversity of the themes of B. Kanapyanov's prose works is noted. The story "Postal Canvas" is dedicated to the artist Mendybai Alin, a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR, one of the authors of the design of the Kazakhstani tenge. The writer shows the artist's maturation through the perception of the boy: from the first drawings and fairy tales to deep philosophical reflections through art. The story "A Walk Before Eternity" is a philosophical and autobiographical prose about life, memory, loyalty, science, literature and loneliness at the end of the road. In the story "Bakhchisaray" the author touches upon such real events as deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944. B. Kanapyanov's film story "The Last Autumn of the Poet" is dedicated to the last days of the life of the Kazakh poet, philosopher and thinker Shakarim Kudaiberdiev. The article also presents the foreign perception of B. Kanapyanov's creativity.
