are described, what role the landscape plays in a work of art, and how the relationship between humans and
nature is reflected in writer Seitkhan Abylkasymuly’s short story. The writer’s spiritual space does not make a
biased decision in the orientation of some events of the historical period; but describes the right and wrong of

time and space in making artistic decisions. After all, S. Abylkasymuly’s creative instincts, aspirations for nature,
and epic features in the art world are characterized by their relevance to the whole human being. It turned out
that the characters portrayed by the writer, the behavior of the time, the Kazakh environment, as well as the
artistic moment and space of that time, reveal to today’s readers not only the events of the past but also the
problems of the present.
