Abstract

The current work considers the issues of defining the storyline of the example of the most prominent representative of Kazakh poetry Maylikozha Sultankozhauly «Anqau men Qu» and the plot of «Panchatantra» and «Kalila and Dimna». The ancient Indian literary monument – «Panchatantra» is first reflected, from which the literary relic of the Arab world is transferred to «Kalila and Dimna», the analysis of the plot development, which spread to Asian countries, including the work of the Masters of the word of Central Asia, is carried out.

The author emphasizes the fact that Mailikozha, who sang several examples and sagas based on Eastern legends and added them to the treasury of our literature, showed the skill of creating a new work on the basis of an ancient plot.  It is important to consider the artistic techniques the poet used in the process of singing in the form of an example using the final plot. The features of the transformation of fable adapted to the Kazakh land are scientifically analyzed.

In the process of analyzing «Anqau men Qu» attention was paid to the demonstration of the poetic transformation of the plot, which continued from ancient times. The artistic level of the work, character conflicts, and the system of images were also analyzed.

The current work consiers the example of Maylikozha, which is rooted in «Panchatantra» and «Kalila and Dimna», was considered in detail as a reflection of the deep historical ties of Kazakh literature.
