SUBJECTS AND POWER OF SATIRIC-YUMORISTIC WORKS BY KHIZGIL AVSHALUMOV

Abstract

Khizgil Avshalumov is an author of popular novellas, short stories and essays. The leading theme in the writer’s work is the fight against negative phenomena in society and the inertia of the individual. In this regard, Kh. Avshalumov continues traditions of Yu. Gereev, S. Stalsky, G. Tsadasa. His satire, enriched with techniques of artistic depiction of reality, becomes a new step in the development of this genre. The basis of the writer’s early works is Tat folklore, which successfully fulfilled its ideological and educational functions. Not only the satirical-ideological, but also the comic line of the Dagestan story is connected with folklore. The work of Kh. Avshalumov at different times and at different levels became the object of scientific research, but the appeal to his work is fragmentary. Consideration of the writer’s work on a new round of socio-historical changes was intended to contribute to a systematic and analytical consideration of his prose in the aspect of its genre and stylistic originality. The relationship between theme, genre and style is one of the least developed problems of a writer’s work. This is explained by the complexity of the phenomenon itself, the diverse nature of artistic expression at each individual stage of its creativity.
