Abstract
The article reveals the poetics of Chingiz Aitmatov. At the multinational field of soviet literature Aitmatov’s books became a property of the whole literature, not only Kirgiz literature. At the literary process of the 6 0 -80-th Aitmatov’s works reveal features which organically belong to many other writers of this epoch - in poetics, composition, mythology, architectonics and style. Aitmatov’s novels reveal intertextual ties with masterpieces of Evgenyi Zamyatin, Michail Bulgakov, Boris Pasternak, Valentin Rasputin, Victor Astafiev, Vasiliy Belov, Yuriy Trifonov.The evolution of Aitmatov represents a movement to large scale incarnation of humanistic idea of a Personality and World. Early novels contain a sense of love as bright and strong feeling. The later works show a concern for the Present and the Future of mankind, which becomes the matter of a person’s responsibility.
