Аннотация

This article examines the image of wandering in the novel "The Eternal Wanderer" by Isajon Sultan. Keywords: novel, world literature, image, wandering, immortality. In the period of independence, along with the traditional novels that flourished in our novel writing, unconventional novels also began to be created. One of the artistic features characteristic of such novels is the creation of mythopoetic novels. As one of the bright achievements of Uzbek prose in this category, we can cite the work of Isajon Sultan "The Eternal Wanderer". The image of the eternal wanderer first appeared in world literature in the 13th century (in the book "The Great Chronicle" compiled in 1228), and we can partially see the presence of this image in the works of various writers, in particular, in Russian literature, in the novel "The Golden Calf" by Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov, and in Mikhail Bulgakov's novel "The Master and Margarita". In the literature of European nations, the eternal wanderer is more often found not as a person, but as a person who lives forever. In particular, the fact that Jesus is eternally alive and the events related to his execution are described in different ways. A significant idea about the appearance of the image of the immortal wanderer in world literature is mentioned by Doctor of Philology, Professor Damin Turayev in his article “Philosophical Adventure Novel” dedicated to the novel “The Immortal Wanderer”: “There are several mature novels, stories, and narratives in world literature on the theme of the “Immortal Wanderer”. The most mature of them are works such as “Melmo the Wanderer” by Charles Methure in English literature, “Agasphere” by French writer Eugene Onegin, and the story “The Immortal Man” by Luis Borges. But Isajon Sultan takes a different path. The man in his novel creates an artificial human in secret scientific centers in the West in order to perpetuate his rule over the whole world. The immortal man, who has perfect intelligence, understands the power of the god who 431 Synapses: Insights Across the Disciplines SYNAPSES: Insights Across the Disciplines ISSN: 3060-4737 Volume 2, Issue 5 IF(Impact Factor) 10.92 / 2024 created this world with his intellectual intelligence, and, considering cloning in laboratories to be against God and a sin, escapes from the cage of evil inventors and becomes an eternal wanderer”.1 Uzbek literature is known for its rich heritage and rare works. Among them, Isajon Sultan's novel "The Eternal Wanderer" holds a special place. The writer said in one of his interviews: "One day, I thought deeply and came to the conclusion that the money I earn does not bring happiness, and I began to feel like a wanderer. Wanderership is not only about wandering around the streets, there are other types of it. For example, if you were asked if you would exchange five years of your life for a car, would you give it, or even one year, would you not? Or, would young people give you a day or a minute? No, you cannot. If you think that you will give only a minute, how do you know that the happiness of your life is in that very minute. Thinking about it, you may not give it either." So, when there are different forms of wanderership, For example, Rumi sees wandering not only as a physical state, but also as a search for a spiritual path. He encourages a person to travel to his inner world and true self. In his opinion, a person should actually strive to explore his inner experiences and spiritual state rather than any external wandering. He emphasizes that through the conflicts and difficulties of life, a person can understand himself and gain a deeper spiritual experience. Despite its small size, Isajon Sultan's novel "The Eternal Wanderer" was recognized as the best novel of the year in Uzbekistan in 2010. In 2011, it was first published in the magazine "Star of the East", and then as a separate book. The novel reveals a number of features of postmodernism, a new approach to a theme that has been developed in world literature and our classical literature for many centuries. The novel is not large in size, but it contains a number of questions that encourage people to think and ponder. The work is complex, there is no main character in it, but the author wrote the work so perfectly that the characters of the characters and the development of events are beautifully described with the liveliness and uniqueness of the language of the work of art. While reading the work, it seemed that the events were proceeding smoothly, and then there were intermittent events, what is the author trying to say, what is the main theme? Is it the value of man or the belated repentance of a group of scientists who rebelled against the will of God, or perhaps the fall of a group of scientists who wanted to rule the entire universe? The writer tries to explain to the reader why the universe and man were created, that the world was created perfectly, that nothing can happen without 1 Damin Turayev
