Abstract

The main characteristic of nowadays Kazakh literature is the creation of an
artistic image of the heroes who performed a selfless feat on the way to independence. The research
article analyzes two novels: «Mustafa Shokai» Akim Tarazi and «Taukymet» Raphael Niyazbek.
To find a description of the civil identity, exalted spirit of outstanding public figures who faced the
totalitarian system, artistic and stylistic searches in creating a heroic personality and creative
imagination the of the authors. Analyzing these novels, we concluded that the imagination
performs a crucial artistic function in the creation of a character, the development of the plot and
conflict, the connection and composition of events in the work. Simultaneously it is necessary that
the creative imagination does not contradict the reality of the historical person and the history
realities. In contrast, we find that the freedom of the writer's imagination lies in the artistic
generalization and hero transformation and his medium into a plot, into a conflict of characters.
The fact that in depicting the character of the main characters, authors paid attention to the
description of the psychology of the figure in the experience of various situations confirmed by the
issuance of excerpts from the work.
