Life and oeuvre of Iliyas Zhansugurov undoubtedly is a great example to young Kazakhs.
His remarkable talent, hard work and love for the Motherland helped him to become one of the
outstanding writers in history and, despite the difficulties and repressions, stay in the hearts of
readers.
Жизнь и творчество Ильяса Жансугурова, несомненно, является ярким примером
упорного труда, немеркнущего таланта и любви к Родине для современной молодежи, что и
делает его одним из выдающихся писателей и поэтов в истории Казахстана, глубоко
повлиявших сознание современников.
For 43 years of his life, Iliyas Zhansugurov managed to write dozens
of literature works that
became the classics of Kazakh literature. He worked in different genres, describing the life of Kazakhs
in dramas and poems, even tried writing satiric novels and poetry, ridiculing individual Soviet figures
that did not even have the slightest idea of the nomadic life of Kazakhs. But to understand more about
the life of Iliyas, let us go back to his biography.
He was born on May 1, 1894 in the village number 4 of the Aksuiskaya volost of the Kapal
district of the Semirechenskiy region. By the age of fifteen, the future poet graduated from Karaganda
seven-year school. It was in those years in the adolescent that a love for literature wakes up, he tries to
write lyric poems. Until 1920 he lived and grew up in the aul, grazing cattle and farming. At that time,
he could not receive appropriate training, as schools were absent in their district. Due to his thirst for
knowledge, he persevered in self-education and therefore could read and write in Kazakh. Loving the
folk literature, he tried to master it and became a good narrator of some Kazakh epics and folk poems.
And in 1916 he got acquainted with the works of Abai, Shangirai, Baytursunov, Bulatov, Karashev,
Khudaiberdiev and read all the publications of "Olen Kitab" of Kazakh literature.
By the adult age Iliyas perfectly mastered Russian and advocated
the translation of
classical literature into the Kazakh language, he himself worked in this field and thanks to
Zhansugurov, many works by legendary Russian poets and writers like Gorky, Mayakovsky and
Lermontov became available in Kazakh, which gave a great chance to all the Kazakh people to be
in touch with the Russian culture. Also Iliyas Zhansugurov translated Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin"
into Kazakh world-famous novel.
In the works of Iliyas raised complicated topics and problems: the industrial revolution in
Kazakhstan, which had its hard times and the infringement
of the local people, the relations of the
Russian and Kazakh people, the way of life and freedom of the Kazakhs,
as well as relations in the
family (which is very important for Kazakh people)and the pain of loss. His works harmoniously
combine the old traditions of ancestors and the trends of a new era.
The most famous works of Iliyas are the poems "Kui"( «Күй» ) and "Dala"( «Дала» ). Those
works tell about the life of the Kazakhs and the special soul of the nomadic people. They include the
poem "The Steppe", in the center of the plot of which is a complicated history of Kazakhstan. It is
written in a lyrical style, combining the poetic form of "tolgau" and features of the new literature of that
time. The story "Badyrak" tells the story of a farm laborer whose fate has changed just like the
government in the country.
The poem "Kulager"(«Құлагер» ) is the strongest work of Iliyas Zhansugurov where Iliyas told
a lyrical story about the composer of the 19th century Akhan seri."Kulager" is a story about the great
