Abstract
The study is devoted to some stylistic features of the novel “When Mountains Fall”, in which the Kyrgyz word performs the function of an artistic device that gives a national flavor to the narrative. In his latest novel, the writer has changed the nature of perception of reality, he conveys the author’s sense of collapse, the destruction of folk traditions and people’s relationships. The author shows that the Kyrgyz word, names in a work of fiction are a decoding of the meaning of the novel. Analyzing the fate of the heroes of the works of Ch. Aitmatov, the author comes to the conclusion that they are deeply complex and dramatic and love always wins and passes as a saving and healing force from all adversities and lifts a person above all difficulties and trials, helping the hero to resist them.
