Chinor Uzbek 2022

This novel by Asqad Mukhtar is written in a new form reminiscent of oriental literary traditions. While the stories, branching out in all directions like the mighty branches of a plane tree, reflect living reality, its deep roots are stories about the recent past, and the narratives are light as butterflies' leaves, reaching out to ancient legends on the wings of artistic thought... All this is about an Uzbek family. This family is large, ancient, cultural, hardworking, and in this sense "noble". Each of its members has taken on a certain responsible burden in the life of the people. The strong and ancient plane tree, deeply rooted in the soil, is a symbol of eternity, a symbol of our people. Each of the stories, conditionally interconnected with the journey of the head of the family, Grandfather Achil, puts forward an independent moral and aesthetic idea. And the stories and narratives support and further strengthen this idea
