Abstract

Relevance. With the ever-changing cultural component of society, which includes a multifaceted field of literary creation, this topic is relevant to modern linguists and literary scholars because of its versatility and wide horizons for development in Kazakh literature. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of reception of contemporary Kazakh prose in the global cultural space, which is reflected in many literary works of Kazakh writers. Therefore, the main task of the study was to analyse the reception of Kazakh prose within the framework of its impact on the entire cultural space of the world. Literature analysis is a complex task based on a number of interrelated factors, such as the cultural characteristics of the work and its author, aspects of genre stylistics or personal style of the writer, and pragmatic aspects of Kazakh literature in general, which are very diverse and very ambiguous. Methodology. The main research methods include: content analysis of literary texts of Kazakh writers, analysis of various socio-cultural aspects and receptive factors of Abish Kekilbayev's creativity, the method of analogy, and the historical method. Results. Prose works that include all the genre diversity represented by novels, short stories, and other genres that convey an inexhaustible layer for the study of reception, which is somehow present in any of them. The central figure in this paper was Abish Kekilbayev and his historical novel "End of a Legend". Conclusions. The findings can be utilised as a methodological guide to the literary work of Abish Kekilbayev, and used as information about the reception of Kazakh prose in independent scientific research.
