About the outstanding Uzbek poet - democrat-educator Zakirjan Furkat.
Furkat (pseudonym; real name and surname - Zakirjan Khalmukhamedov) (1858, Kokand, - 1909, Yarkand), Uzbek poet, thinker, publicist. He studied at a madrasah in Kokand, where he studied Arabic and Persian languages and classical poetry of the East; here he began to write lyrical and satirical poems. In 1889 he left for Tashkent. From 1891 he traveled extensively (to the countries of South Asia and the Balkan Peninsula). In 1894, persecuted by the nobility ridiculed by him, Furkat was forced to settle in Yarkend (Kashgaria, now Xinjiang Uygur district of China), where he was engaged in translation work and compiling a collection of his works. Lyrical gazelles Furkat are stylistically original, marked by the freshness of images, affirm the dignity of a person, resist religious mysticism and asceticism. Satirical poems denounce the ignorant self-interested nobility, the merchants, the clergy. In verses of social content, the humanist poet mourns the hard life of the working people, condemns unjust social order. Together with Mukimi, Furkat headed a galaxy of progressive poets (Zavki, Avaz, etc.). Speaking as the head of the educational movement in public thought and literature, Furkat revealed the importance of Russian culture for the development of his native land and its intelligentsia. Enlightenment ideas of Furkat, his associates and followers played a significant role in the development of Uzbek literature, philosophy and pedagogy, in the struggle against feudal-patriarchal institutions. close
