Abstract
HASANLI, Mehman Aghasalim. Style mosaic of the modern Kazakh novel. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.3, pp. 121-126. Epub June 30, 2024. ISSN 2218-3620.
This research aims to delve into the key components of the contemporary Kazakh novel style, focusing particularly on the literary output of Rollan Seisenbaev during the 1980s. It is important to emphasize that in the Kazakh novel of the 1980s, changes and transformations took place in both form and content components, and this process was directly linked to the social and political routes of the time. At this time Rollan Seisenbaev began to emerge as one of the leading exponents of the Kazakh novel. Taking as examples the works «The Throne of Satan» and «The Escape» written by Rollan Seisenbaev the article examines the stylistic characteristics of the novels, as well as the modus vivendi of the Kazakh novel of the 1980s. The study explores the human freedom stifled and troubled in the Soviet Union in the novel «The Throne of Satan» and the injustices and inequalities of governance in the early years of the system in the novel «The Escape». Using Avilay as an example, the author assessed the injustice faced by a just and honest citizen as Satan’s throne. He described the internal mayhem of Kudaibergen and the contradictions of the 1930s against the backdrop of his life.
