Image of Ertogrol Javid in the Azerbaijani literature

Abstract

Ertogrol Javid (1919-1943), the beloved son of Hussein Javid Rasizade (1982-1941), a great romantic poet and talented playwright of Azerbaijan, who has fallen the victim to the last century’s brutal repressions, was a person of outstanding talent. His endless interest and adherence to various genres of Azerbaijani and world literature and culture allowed him to express himself as a musician, artist, poet, playwright, a specialist in folklore, and ethnographer. Unfortunately, the enemies of the Azerbaijani people did not content themselves with the arrest of the genius writer, guiltlessly called a “public enemy” but showed the same attitude to his family and his son, Ertogrol Javid, and condemned this brilliant talent to death. The paper considers works creating artistic images of this young man who died at the age of 24, despite living with great creative love for the Azerbaijani literature.
