Text 3. Abai Kunanbaev

Abai Kunanbaev (1845-1904 ) the founder of Kazakh classical written literature is a great poet, thinker and a composer. Abai (his true name is Ibragim ) was born in Semipalatinsk region.

Abai’s father, Kunanbai – was the leader of Tobikty family. His mother, Ulzhun, gently loved her son and the tender name of Abai, having superseded the true name of the great poet, became known to the whole world.

Firstly Abai got his education in aul at mullah’s, where he studied eastern literature at the same time Abai also visited a Russian school. Already in medresse his poetic talents were visible. The boy was good at imitating some eastern poets. Kunanbai wanted his son to take part in management of the people and because of this he didn’t let Abai finish school. Soon Abai gradually departed from managing because he couldn’t stand the family conflicts any more.

The poet was surrounded by many talented people. Neither the great rulers of the clan nor aristocrats of the steppe but talented dzhigits who valued the art of a word were grouped around the poet. The representatives of Russian intelligentsia with whom Abai got acquainted in Semipalatinsk influenced the poet’s outlook greatly. Abai highly esteemed the outstanding representatives of democratic culture such as Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy and other poets, writers and thinkers.

Abai was also a composer. His songs on the fragments from “Eugene Onegin” translated by him are widely known. Such Abai’s pupils as Shakarim, Kokbay,Akilbay, Kakitay were also greatly interested in European and Russian culture.

Abai’s children got education at Russian schools like their father.

The verses and songs of Abai in which the great poet upheld the people’s interests were widely spread all over the Kazakh steppe.

Abai died in 1904. He couldn’t bear the death of two talented sons of his.

Abai possessed not only a bright poetic but also a deep philosophical thinking. He was interested in logics, psychology.Abai’s thoughts about life were embodied in a remarkable monument of his art-philosophical prose – “Gakli”. The genius of the Kazakh people has left an unfading art heritage loved by people.
