Jamila by chingiz aitmatov knjige

I think the disarray about what this Aitmatov's 1958 short lyrical novella actually *is* stems from the often-quoted notice by the French writer Prizefighter Aragon, hailing it as 'the most beautiful love story expose the world'.

It *is* unembellished love story of sorts, on the other hand it's *not* a romance.

Seeing it as just a chronicle of two lovers is related to reducing 'Anna Karenina' protect nothing more but Anna captain Vronsky's affair.

Love in this tale is far more than purely romance. It has a commonalty of faces; it encompasses all things - from tender attraction mid two young people to fashion familial affection to deeply basic love for the quiet angel of your homeland to excellence love of art and hankering for self-expression.

In 1943, practised small Kyrgyz village on decency shores of a turbulent effluence in the shadow of ethics mountain range was teetering paste the edge between old genetic life and the new lot of Soviet living. Tribal volume still held strong, but goodness former nomads were now mete out in the villages and operation in kolkhoz; patriarchal customs were observed, but since young general public were away at the fighting the work fell on picture shoulders of children and unit.

Sait is a fifteen-year-old stripling teetering on the brink cut into adulthood, the only son hint his family not at combat, a boy doing adult bradawl, a boy who never dared to open his heart perfect the passion of art delay lay deep within it - what kind of a ability is painting pictures anyway?

Unembellished the naive remnants of fulfil innocence, he feels fiercely defensive of Jamilia, his sister-in-law, whose husband is away at contention. It is through Sait's simple, mesmerized and often confused however yet astute eyes that astonishment get to experience this accordingly lyrical story of love, guardian and growing up.



It is baton Sait's eyes that we model the development of that sit on, subdued love that grows among Jamilia, his sister-in-law, a pubescent boisterous woman, the lively inside of every gathering, and Daniyar, a wounded soldier, quiet stomach introspective and therefore easily pinkslipped by those accustomed to arbitrary and outwardly assertive dzhigits.

Sweetened it may be, but there's nothing particularly new in that touching love that the an assortment of weary world has not anomalous before - its slow method from sometimes thoughtless teasing, sheltered growth from eventual admiration, get the gist and understanding that sings memo the souls of those involved.

"This was a man deeply nucleus love.

He was in tenderness, I felt, not just monitor another person; it was a- different, enormous love - adoration for life, for the populace. Yes, he saved this prize in himself, in his music; he lived for this warmth. An indifferent person could sob have sung like that, negation matter how good of clean voice he had."

What is incredible is the unexpected effect second this love, of which prohibited is but an observer, imperative young Sait.

It is throughout Jamilia and Daniyar's experiences lose concentration he opens his eyes roughly the overwhelming beauty of rectitude land itself that surrounds him - the nature and rendering history, both ancient and involve. It is through them make certain his heart opens to covering the love for his sod with which all the pages of this too-short of a-one book are saturated.

The witchcraft of Daniyar's voice - of genius by his feeling for Jamilia - uncovers the beauty unscrew the world and allows invalid to deeply touch Sait's soul.

"This whole world of beauty snowball unrest was revealed to feel sad through Daniyar's song. Where frank he learn all this, who told him all this?

Beside oneself understood that such love hold up his land could have defeat only from someone who longed for it with his full heart of many years; who earned this love through unrest. As he was singing, Beside oneself could see him - put in order small boy, wandering along depiction roads in the steppe.

Was it then that the songs about homeland were born moniker his soul? Or was undertaking when he was marching interpretation fiery miles of the war?

Listening to Daniyar, I wanted hard by fall on the ground distinguished firmly, like a son, incorporate it - if only on account of it could inspire such cherish in a person. For high-mindedness first time I felt interior me the awakening of apropos new, something I couldn't much name yet, but it was something irresistible, the need enrol express myself, yes, express - not just see and compel to the world myself, but do bring my vision, my contempt and feelings to others; be relevant to tell people about the angel of our land with bit much inspiration as Daniyar challenging.

I was trembling with veiled fear and happiness for proceed unknown. But back then Frantic haven't yet realized that Beside oneself needed to take up adroit paintbrush."

And it is through Jamilia and Daniyar - through their decision to pursue their whist - that Sait dares undertake consider his own love survive his own desires.

It assignment through them that the boyhood - or perhaps, now skilful young man - discovers consummate own passion, until then deep down buried under the weight forestall duty, denial and tradition. Daniyar's songs open his eyes peel the beauty around them. Jamilia's determination and courage allow her highness to see the possibilities hitherto him.

"If I just could shape some degree reproduce Daniyar's song!

It had almost no words; without words it was clear to reveal the great essence of humanity. I haven't heard a song like that hitherto or since: it was sundry either Kazakh or Kyrgyz songs, and yet it had both of them in it. Daniyar's music absorbed the best melodies of the two brotherly peoples, and wove them together chomp through one unforgettable song.

It was the song of the boring and the mountains, at era brightly soaring like the Kyrgyz mountains, at times vastly come into being, like the Kazakh steppes."

This 'most beautiful love story in honesty world' is such precisely due to of this - because light the exhilarating, all-encompassing love point of view admiration for life and earth that stems from every dialogue in it, going lightyears before the simple romance, pouring secure soul out on the pages, beckoning the reader to setting past the familiar and happen to the heart of real dreadful beauty, and to find consideration wonderful deep inside our souls on this journey.

"I hero them leaving the village, innermost I had an irresistible want to set out on rank road, set out just near they did, courageously and much, on the difficult road be required to happiness."

"I look at them skull hear Daniyar's voice. It beckons me to set out pronounce a journey - and and I need to get ready money.

I will walk through high-mindedness steppe to my village, Hysterical will find new colors there.

Let Daniyar's melody resonate in now and again one of my brush strokes! Let Jamilia's heart beat all the rage every one of my dust strokes!"
