Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the role of historical sources in the creation of historical novels by Nurali Qobul and analyzes the significance of these sources in the formation of a cycle of novels. Particular attention is given to the author’s approach to historical documents, chronicles, scholarly works, memoirs, and other source materials used in reconstructing historical periods, events, and personalities. The study explores how historical information is transformed into an artistic narrative through the interaction of historical fact, creative imagination, and the author’s individual literary perspective. It also analyzes the principles of selecting and interpreting historical materials in the novel cycle, with emphasis on the representation of historical figures, social and political events, and the moral and spiritual atmosphere of the period. The article considers the relationship between historical authenticity and artistic fiction and demonstrates how the creative reinterpretation of historical sources contributes to the development of characters, plot structures, and thematic unity within a cycle of novels. Particular emphasis is placed on Nurali Qobul’s literary approach to historical memory, national identity, and the representation of the past. The study concludes that the effective combination of historical sources and artistic interpretation constitutes an important factor in creating historically convincing and aesthetically significant novels.
