A Book Review On Abay Kunanbayev’s“Book Of Words”

Abstract

With Mongolians’ help, the Russian made Kazakh Khans lose their power, and accordingly, at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century, Kazakhstan became dependent on the Soviet Regime. Kazakhs were exposed to starvation and their population dramatically dropped, which also caused them to mislay their faith and many values. In such a desperate situation, society needed a guide showing the right path with advice to save them from this depression. Abay Kunanbayev’s Book of Words embodied the required morals that they actually needed to keep their essence. I aim to introduce this great writer and poet’s literary masterpiece to the literary world with my inferences.
