Today, a literary and educational meeting with the well-known writer, alumnus of the alma mater, and journalist Esbolat Aidabossyn was held at Abai University. The event was attended by renowned literary critic and scholar Beken Ybyraim, as well as Eldos Toktarbay, who discussed the pressing issues of contemporary Kazakh prose.

During the event, the writer’s creative identity and works were thoroughly analyzed from a scholarly perspective. Doctor of Philology, Professor Beken Ybyraim, examining the “golden bridge” between 20th and 21st century literature, gave a literary assessment of Esbolat Aidabossyn’s works. By linking the author’s genre explorations with classical world literature, the scholar demonstrated the vitality of his works within national literature. He highlighted the writer’s mastery in revealing pressing social issues through characters and his distinctiveness in preserving the national flavor of the language.

Literary critic Eldos Toktarbay focused on the stylistic features of the writer, describing his works as “a true mirror of society.” The critic elaborated on how the author, while preserving the traditions of classical prose, explores social inequality and human psychology. The discussion covered the themes, main ideas, characterization, and artistic techniques of the works.

The guest of the evening, Esbolat Aidabossyn, engaged in an open-format discussion with students, introducing them to the “kitchen” of the writing craft. He spoke about the challenges and joys of creating characters and elevating ideas into literary works.

– For me, every character is a living image taken from life itself. I let them mature deep in my consciousness and only put them on paper when the time comes. Writing is the result of constant search and inner struggle, – said the writer.

At the end of the meeting, the writer expressed great confidence in the youth and outlined their responsibilities for the future. He emphasized that the generation growing up in the era of independence bears significant responsibility for knowledge and national values. Calling the youth “the generation carrying the amanat,” he reminded them that the future of the country and the fate of the language lie in the hands of an educated generation.

This open dialogue with students contributed to the promotion of national literature and opened new horizons for the creative aspirations of the younger generation. Undoubtedly, this meeting became a valuable school of guidance for future specialists in the field of philology.
