Abstract

The subject of the author’s attention is the works of the Canadian literary critic N. Shneidman devoted to Chingiz Aitmatov’s creativity - two articles and two monographs, in which the researcher presented his scientific judgments about the story “Farewell, Gulsary!”, the novels “The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years”, “The Scaffold”, as well as the writer’s unfinished works. Shneidman’s papers, analyzed in the article, have not been previously studied. While some opinions expressed in the researcher’s works are more or less similar to the views of Soviet and, later, Kyrgyz critics, some of them are significantly different. According to Shneidman, the reason for Ch. Aitmatov’s success in the Soviet Union can be explained by the fact that the writer uncovered universal problems, as well as Soviet truth, which was relevant to many Soviet nations, on the local material.
