ABSTRACT
This article is dedicated to the scientific and theoretical views of the talented professor N. Shukurov. For this purpose,
various pamphlets of the scientist published during the 60s-90s are taken as an object, and through them, his creative
researches, scientific and literary thoughts, and artistic analyzes of the poetics of some works are discussed.
KEYWORDS
Literary history, literary theory, style, pathos, prose, criticism, national spirit, theme, composition, poetics.
INTRODUCTION
Renowned literary scholar Nuriddin Shukurov’s
scientific works encompass an incredibly broad range
of topics. Poetry, prose, dramaturgy, the history and
theory of literature, literary criticism, translation, and
journalism
—
all these areas have been integral to his
relentless scholarly and creative activity from the 1960s
to the 1990s. Throughout this period, his research
yielded profound analyses of literary works and a
collection of well-founded, impartial, and weighty
scientific conclusions.
A distinctive feature of Nuriddin Shukurov’s work is his
scientific and artistic exploration of Uzbek prose. His
deep understanding of poetry enabled him to study
prose with a sense of originality and subtlety. This is
because poetry forms the foundation of all art.
Essential elements of poetry
—
such as imagery, mood,
and hidden meanings
—
also find their expression in
prose. As the renowned Latvian poet Eduards
Mežeļaitis noted in his book Night Butterflies, “I
cannot digest prose that lacks poetic astonishment.
Such work is poor prose. True art is always
poetic.”[2.289]
It is evident that only a truly talented individual can
create vivid and magical depictions that captivate

’ hearts, stir their emotions, and leave a lasting
impression on their consciousness. When analyzing the
works of the gifted writer O‘tkir Hoshimov—
such as
Listen to Your Heart, Where There Is Light, There Is
Shadow, and Matters of Life
—
Shukurov articulates his
research focus with clarity: “We must carefully analyze
and illuminate how life’s complex truths and diverse
facets are revealed in artistic works, and how form
serves to transform life’s realities into artistic
truths.”[3.125–
126]
Discussing O‘tkir Hoshimov’s style, unique approach,
and success in his works, Shukurov emphasizes the
writer’s ability to create vibrant characters, compelling
narratives, and relatable dialogue. For instance, in
Hoshimov’s novel Between Two Doors, the po
lyphony
of characters like Muzaffar, Qora Amma, Robiya,
Shomurod, Husan Duma, Orif Oqsoqol, and Umar
Zakunchi adds an extraordinary depth to the work.
Shukurov concludes that Hoshimov’s novella, with its
heartfelt portrayal of a mother’s unconditional love
,
inspires a deep sense of reverence and gratitude in
readers, which underscores the profound influence of
Hoshimov’s literary talent.
In his analysis of Between Two Doors, a novel that
captures the history of the 1940s
–
50s and the wartime
years, Shukurov asserts the timelessness of its artistic
vision. In today’s turbulent world, where peace
remains precarious, the novel’s call for harmony
underscores the enduring relevance of literature’s
unifying and creative power.
Shukurov also highlights O‘tkir Hoshimov’s adept use
of language and psychological insight in portraying
events and character development. He writes: “Only
when such principles manifest in an epic work do the
characters and events acquire inevitability and
naturalness. Every episode becomes an integral part of
the narrative’s structure. Literature is the art of words.
A writer vividly reflects life and creates impactful
moments and scenes by meticulously utilizing the
language of the people.”[3.134–
136]
This notion is echoed by literary critic Hotam Umurov,
who remarks: “A true artist creates not only the
surface of an image but breathes life into it, evoking its
essence, soul, and distinctive character.”[6.40]
Nuriddin Shukurov, alongside his student Ilhom
Hasanov, explored the potential of the young prose
writers emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s in
their article The Season of Research [3.138
–
150]. These
writers, who have since become notable figures in
Uzbek literature, include Nurali Qobul, Murad
Muhammad Dust, Erkin A’zamov, Hayridd
in Sultonov,
Tog‘ay Murod, and others. Shukurov keenly observed
their unique styles and predicted their future
prominence.
Reflecting on Nurali Qobul’s work, Shukurov notes its
civic-minded
approach
and
polyphonic
style,
distinguishing him from his peers. Similarly, he
highlights Murad Muhammad Dust’s portrayal of
ordinary rural folk as complex and authentic
individuals, imbued with dignity and resilience.
Discussing Erkin A’zamov’s works, Shukurov describes
them as acts of rebellion
—
against societal injustices,
spiritual indifference, and superficiality
—
and as a call
for humanity and compassion.
Analyzing Hayriddin Sultonov’s prose, Shukurov
admires its lyrical tone, historical perspective, and
heartfelt depiction of simple, unassuming characters.
He also a
cknowledges Asad Dilmurod’s poetic style,
which often intertwines human emotions with the
beauty of nature and historical contexts.
Shukurov’s thorough examination of these authors
demonstrates that Uzbek prose of the 1980s was

undergoing a period of profound stylistic and thematic
evolution. Comparing the works of Murad Muhammad
Dust, Erkin A’zamov, Hayriddin Sultonov, and Asad
Dilmurod, Shukurov finds that their narratives explore
themes of familial happiness, life’s complexities, and
societal challenges, offering unique perspectives while
reflecting the spirit of their time.
Despite the richness of creative output today,
Shukurov laments the lack of active literary criticism
and the emergence of a new generation of writers
capable of reshaping literature. He echoes scholar
Qozoqboy Yo‘ldoshev’s sentiment: “Artistic literature
expresses the state of an artist’s soul, not societal
demands. Consequently, it is literary personalities, not
generations, that should be considered moving
forward.”[5.616–
617]

rov’s dedication to fostering literary discourse
underscores the ongoing need for tireless critics who,
like him, can illuminate the evolving landscape of
literature, providing readers with profound insights
and a deeper appreciation for the art form.
