ANAR’S CREATIVITY: THE PROBLEM OF MODERNITY

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the work of the prominent Azerbaijani writer Anar. Its role in modern Azerbaijani prose is noted. Already from the first works a young, novice writer declares the main subject of his creative interest – this is a contemporary with all his problems and moral quests. And although these works were published after many subsequent publications of the author, it is precisely with them that the artistic research of the present and the contemporary begins, which the writer Anar conducts throughout his very fruitful, many-sided career. An analysis of them will allow not only to look into the origins of Anar’s work, but also to understand why these works could not see the light in the years of their writing. Anar conveys the whole gamut of feelings that his hero experiences: remorse for the sins that he committed, his suffering, a passionate desire to share with someone, to free his soul.
