LifeLife
Early life and educationEarly life and education
Abay was born in what is today the selo
of Karauyl, in Abay District, East
Kazakhstan Province; the son of
Qunanbay and Uljan, Qunanbay's
second wife, they named him Ibrahim,
but because of his brightness, he soon
was given the nickname "Abay"
(meaning "careful"), a name that stuck
for the rest of his life. His father's
economic status enabled the boy to
attend a Russian school in his youth, but
only after he had already spent some
years studying at
a madrasah under Mullah Ahmet
Ryza.At his school in Semipalatinsk,
Abay encountered the writings
of Mikhail Lermontov and Alexander
Pushkin .

ContributionsContributions
Abay's main contribution to Kazakh culture and folklore lies in his
poetry, which expresses great nationalism and grew out of Kazakh folk
culture. Before him, most Kazakh poetry was oral, echoing
the nomadic habits of the people of the Kazakh steppes. During Abay's
lifetime, however, a number of important socio-political and socio-
economic changes occurred. Russian influence continued to grow
in Kazakhstan, resulting in greater educational possibilities as well as
exposure to a number of different philosophies, whether
Russian, Western or Asian. Abay Qunanbayuli steeped himself in the
cultural and philosophical history of these newly opened geographies. In
this sense, Abay's creative poetry affected the philosophical thinking of
educated Kazakhs.

LegacyLegacy
The leaders of the Alash Orda movement saw him as their inspiration
and spiritual predecessor.
Contemporary Kazakh images of Abay generally depict him in full
traditional dress holding a dombra (the Kazakh national instrument).
Today, Kazakhs revere Abay as one of the first folk heroes to enter
into the national consciousness of his people. Almaty State University
is named after Abay, so is one of the main avenues in the city of
Almaty. There are also public schools with his name .

Among Abay's students was his
nephew, a historian, philosopher,
and poet Shakarim
Qudayberdiuli (1858–1931).
Statues of him have been erected
in many cities of Kazakhstan, as
well as in Moscow.
A film on the life of Abay was
made by Kazakhfilm in 1995,
titled Abai . He is also the subject
of two novels and
an opera by Mukhtar Auezov,
another Kazakhstani writer.
Another film describing his
father's life was made in
December 2015, titled
"Qunanbai".

Abay also translated into Kazakh the works
of Russian and European authors, mostly for
the first time. Translations made by him
include poems by Mikhail
Lermontov, Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe, Lord Byron, Ivan
Krylov's Fables and Alexander
Pushkin's Eugene Onegin .
Abay's major work is The Book of
Words (Kazakh: қара сөздері , Qara
sözderi ), a philosophic treatise and collection
of poems where he encourages his fellow
Kazakhs to embrace education, literacy, and
good moral character in order to escape
poverty, enslavement and corruption.
In Word Twenty Five, he discusses the
importance of Russian culture, as a way for
Kazakhs to be exposed to the world's cultural
treasures.

Word
Seven
Born into this world, an infant inherits two essential needs. The
first is for meat, drink and sleep. These are the requirements of
the flesh, without which the body cannot be the house of the soul
and will not grow in height and strength. The other is a craving
for knowledge. A baby will grasp at brightly colored objects, it
will put them in its mouth, taste them and press them against its
cheek. It will start at the sound of a pipe. Later, when a child
hears the barking of a dog, the noises of animals, the laughter or
weeping of people, it gets excited and asks about all that it sees
and hears:
"What's that? What's that for? Why is he doing that?"
This is but the natural desire of the soul, the wish to see
everything, hear everything and learn everything.
Without trying to fathom the mysteries of the universe, visible
and invisible, without seeking an explanation for everything, one
can never be what one should be — a human being. Otherwise,
the spiritual life of a person will not differ from the existence of
any other living creature.
From the very beginning God separated man from beast by
breathing the soul into him. Why then, on growing up and gaining
in wisdom, do we not seek to gratify our curiosity, which in
childhood made us forget about food and sleep? Why do we not
tread in the path of those who seek knowledge?

Writings
Abai devoted many of his works to the
violence of Kazakh labour rights e.g."Oh
my Kazakh! My poor people!". Number
of works were devoted to youth: "Our
children", "Only youth - happy flower of
life". And a real treasure is his poems
expressing his feelings and love to the
nature of his land: "Autumn", "Winter“ ,
“Fall” and etc.
As a gifted interpreter Abai gave Kazakh people to enjoy the pearls of russian
classic literature. During 15 years he translated more th a n 50 works of russian
writers like Pushkin, Lermontov, Krylov etc. Abai's literary legacy also includes a
number of ballads dedicated to eastern and western themes. Among these
fictional pieces like "Mas'ud" (1887) and "Alexander,"

Kunanbaev's works were influenced
by his belief in human reason. He
was attracted to Western
Enlightenment thinking and wove
criticism of Kazakh culture into his
works, most notably in his collection
of poems called Qarasozder (often
translated as the Book of Words).
Despite the fact that many years have
passed, several generations have
changed since Abai times, “Book of
Words” is actual today as never
before, it is our reference point in life.

Kazakhstan history, love for
fatherland, culture, people's
psychology and philosophy of life .

In his amazing Book of Words the poet
expressed his reflections over a period of
years, his searching and discoveries,
anxiety and despair, sorrows and joy of
revelations, anger and humility. His Book
of Words is a deeply meaningful way to
truth. The poet tirelessly reminds that
humans have the greatest value in the
world, and that they should be beautiful
and harmoniously perfect. Their souls
should also be beautiful, as should their
mind, body and feelings. Understanding
of the real world and the personal
responsibility of everyone in the world –
this is what the great poet worked for his
art and life. Abai explains that the world is
eternal, united and harmonious. Discord,
anguish, even death cannot destroy the
harmony, for they are natural.
20 слайд
The great poet of the steppe, not understood by his own people, remained alone,
face to face with God. All his powers were dedicated to the enlightenment of his
people, but the people only appreciated the enchanting melodies of his songs,
and did not comprehend the deep essence of his thoughts, did not follow his wise
advice.
That was the beginning and the end of the tragedy of Abai. He is buried near his
wintering in Zhidebai valley, not far from Chingiz mountains.
