(Text)Abai Kunanbaiuly is one of the Kazakhstan’s best known writers. But he was more than that he was a poet, translator, composer and philosopher. He was born near Semipalatinsk in the Chingis Mountains in 1845, at a time when literature was becoming an important art from across the world. For his secondary education, he went to a religious school where he studied Oriental classical literature. He also learned a number of languages including Russian, Arabic, Persian,and read Russian authors such as Tolstoy,Dostoyevsky, Pushkin and Turgenev. However, he left school when his father decided to train him to take over his role leading the local community and to become head of the family. Although he accepted this role to begin with it didn’t interest him and when he was twenty- eight he decided he wanted to study Literature instead.

Abai had a number of talents. He started writing poems when he was only twelve, but at first he did not sign them in his own name. In fact, the first poem he wrote in his own name was Summer, when he was thirty- one. Like many of his poems, it was about Kazakhstan and its people. Abai also translated a number of poems from some of the great European poets , such as Goethe,Byron and Pushkin, the Russian poet. His translation of Eugene Onegin was one of fifty classic Russian worksof literature he translated into Kazakh.

Before Abai stories were passed on by one person telling others. There were no books of Kazakh stories, but Abai changed that and as result people often call him the founder of Kazakh literature. However his most famous work, The Book of Words, is not a fictional story but a book of his philosophical thoughts about Kazakh life, how people should behave and what makes a wise man or woman. Because of this book, and because of the role he played in the lives of his remember him as a spiritual leader in Kazakhstan
