Abstract
The work of Abay and Shakarim is a unique phenomenon that requires a careful examination of the various aspects. The article addresses the problem of spiritual harmony, literary continuity and spiritual integrity in the works of the two poets, by analyzing Shakarim's poem "Enlik-Kebek". The author composed works for the plot "Enlik-Kebek" - two stories "One word that the Kazakhs cannot forget" and "A tale of Kazakh language" and poems by Magauiya, Shakarim's «Enlik-Kebek» and M. The analysis of Auezov's play "Enlik-Kebek" reflects the creative approach, ideological and aesthetic requirements of each artist, the taste of the epoch and the environment in which he lived, and the author's attitude to the incident, along with his own judgment. During the research all of these variants were considered from the perspective of the Abay tradition, from the poetic circle of Abay.
