Chekhov and Kazakh literature

Abstract

Works of A.P. Chekhov played a huge turning role in the history of world literature. His creation has developed into a unique art system, which has determined the ways of the future development of not only drama and theater, but also the world literature as a whole. However, the question of the effect of Chekhov's creativity on Kazakh literature has not yet been developed; it is intricate problem that requires a deep and subtle approach, and a comprehensive scrutiny. Increased interest in A.P. Chekhov, the feeling of transitivity, the boundary of the epoch, inherent features of the works of Russian classic found a response in creation of many
writers. Despite the appearance of a large number of scientific works devoted to the works of A.P. Chekhov, as well as the intensive development of Chekhov studies, in modern literary criticism the problem of interaction and connections of different national literatures remains open. This article discusses the interaction of Kazakh authors with the Chekhov's tradition at the new stage of research. The efficiency of identifying some key aspects of the poetics of Kazakh literature through art retrospection — an appeal to the traditions of A.P. Chekhov - controls the relevance of this investigation. The work is based on the monographs of Academician Rymgali Nurgali, as well as on scientific works of the writer M.O. Auezov.
