Country idea in the poetry of the poet «Zarzaman»

Abstract

This article is devoted to the creative thoughts of the poets of the so-called era «Zar Zaman» («Sorrowful Times»), in which they openly expressed their civic position, boldly chanting the reality of the XIX century. The historical and literary heritage of the Kazakh people is the core of our national history and culture, its important part. Purposeful poets – thinkers at every social system in difficult historical moments in the life of their country always stood on the side of the people, raising its pressing problems, were heralds, the spokesman of the interests of ordinary people. The literary heritage of such thinker poets as Dulat Babatayuly, Shortanbai Kanayuly, Murat Munkeuly has long been considered and evaluated as forbidden to read and publish a work that had its own political reasons. Understanding the word as a weapon of service to the people, the poets in their thoughts described the sufferings of the common people from colonial oppression, the reduction of the ancestral lands and the disrespectful attitude to the issues of national traditions and religion of the people; exposed the venality of local managers in the face of the parish. Thus, the poets, in their thoughts about the fate of the nation at a difficult hour, were able to express the social thought of their time.
