Historical reality and mythopoetics in the creativity of Ahmad Javad (on the basis of “Kur”poem)

Abstract

A prominent representative of 20th century Azerbaijani literature and social-pedagogical conception, poet, publicist, writer, translator, pedagogue, literary scholar, scholar, philanthropist and dedicated soldier on the battlefields for the independence of his nation, A.Javad had rich creativity. Entry of Northern Azerbaijan into the Soviet epoch after 1920, the ethnic and political transformations that took place in this era, especially efforts to break the Azerbaijani Turkish people from their national roots and turn them into the Azerbaijani Soviet people and other fateful events affected not only A.Javad, but also the entire XX century Azerbaijani literature. A.Javad's creativity is a praise of dignity with crazy feelings. As was known in his time, socio-political events made him convey these feelings not overtly, but with underline sayings, symbols, metaphors, and mythical works. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to approach his work from a mythopoetic context.
