Peculiarities of Abdullah Begiev's idiostyle

Abstract

The work of the Balkarian poet A. Begiev is reviewed in a chronological order, the thematic collections “Igilikge iinanyu”, (“With faith in good”), “Keziu” (“Turn”), “Bet” (“Conscience”), the main ideological and conceptual features of his works are revealed: in the patriotic sector – “the joy and pain of my land” (“zherimi kuuanchy, zharasy yes”), in the intimate lyrics – “sweet moments of love” (“syuymekni tatly azaby”), moral imperatives – “conscience” (“bet”) (the definition of the specifics, features of the author’s reflection when creating texts of such a plan is often fixed in the very title of the work). The poetry of A. Begiev is characterized primarily by deep philosophism, a pragmatic view of the life and way of life of compatriots. Conceptual thought is addressed to the depths of human self-consciousness. Object-subject relations are represented through extremely informative images-symbols. The death of a friend is commensurate with the fall of the “heavenly tree” (kyok teregi audu”), the sadness of the mountains (“andan mudahdyla taula”) (poem “Eki zhulduz” (“Two stars”). Skeptical moods model the philosophy of the lyrical hero: “...Men zhalangachma ... / Zher achdy – es, tuzlyuk yes achlykda ...“(“I am destitute (naked)... / The earth is hungry – consciousness, justice too ...); “Suukma, jurekle talashsalada ...” (“I freeze when hearts argue…“), poem “Keziu” (“Turn”).

The article illustrates the diverse activities of A. Begiev – from works for children, translations, journalism – to works on the collection and systematization of previously unpublished works of the classic of Balkarian literature Kazim Mechiev, the poet Akat Shavaev, as well as lamentation songs (kuy), poems, lamentation lyrical songs, which compiled the collection “Shagatlyk eteme” (“Living Witnesses”, 2004).
