Mukhtar Omarkhanovich Auezov was an outstanding Kazakh writer, playwright and scientist, doctor of philology, professor, academician at the Academy of Sciences of Kazakh SSR (1946).
The creative path of Mukhtar Auezov started in 1917, when he wrote the play “Yenlik-Kebek", based on a folk legend about the tragic fate of two young people.
He is the author of short stories including "Beauty in Mourning", "Orphan's Fate", "Who is to Blame?", "An Orphan", "Fierce and Grey", the story “The Incident on Karash-Karash", the novel "Hard Times", the plays "Stone Plumage", "In an Apple Orchard", as well as monographic research on the history of the Kazakh and Kyrgyz literature and folklore. Many of these works revealed the problems of Kazakh feudal society at that time.
The crowning achievement of his career was his four-volume epic novel "The Path of Abai" which brought worldwide fame to the writer. The novel has been translated into many languages and was included in the "Library of World Literature".
In 1945, the year of the 100th anniversary of Abai, Auezov wrote the libretto for the “Abai” opera and the script of the feature film "The Songs of Abai”.

Mukhtar Auezov was the first writer who contributed to the formation and development of Kazakh school of style through his creative works. Thanks to him, masterpieces of classical world literature, such as the plays “The Inspector General” by Gogol, “Othello”, “The Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare, “Lyubov Yarovaya” by Konstantin Trenev were translated into the Kazakh language and made available to the public.
