THE LIFE AND WORK OF ABDULLA QODIRIY

Abstract

In the history of Uzbek national literature, the great writer Abdulla Qodiriy (1894–1938) occupies a special and honoured place. His literary legacy played an invaluable role in the spiritual awakening of the Uzbek people, the recognition of national identity, and the shaping of social thought. Qodiriy is remembered not only as a novelist but also as a publicist, playwright, translator, literary critic, and active public figure. His heritage is of tremendous importance for national self-awareness, the restoration of historical memory, and the cultivation of enlightenment in society. Both his life and creative work deserve thorough analysis from literary as well as socio-spiritual perspectives.
