Abstract
The article examines the work of an outstanding representative of modern Kazakh literature, Hero of Labor of Kazakhstan, Laureate of the State Prize Akim Tarazi from the point of view of the requirements of literary criticism. The article sets the goal of teaching and studying the creativity of Akim Tarazi and studying the prose, dramatic works of the writer from the point of view of chronological and comparative historical, hermeneutic methods. With the help of these methods, the author's ideas about time and space, about human existence and ways of modeling the real world and the inner world of his characters are considered. The writer shows the social types, such as the worm, that penetrate into the core of society through his work. These types are designed to draw the reader's attention to how much they influenced the Kazakh identity.In addition, the works reveal the socio-social, cultural nature of the complex problems of Kazakh society. The works of Akim Tarazi reflect the multilevel situations of national existence and the thought of freedom. The scientific and practical value of the research is measured by the fact that in Kazakh literary studies, certain judgments of the Soviet period are overestimated from the standpoint of a modern independent country, and also contribute to the improvement of the methodological and theoretical aspect of the Domestic literary branch.
