Nizami Gəncəvının “İskəndərnamə” poemasının bədıı-estetık xüsusıyyətlərı

Abstract

As in all of Nizami’s works, in the poem «Iskandername» he attached special importance to the national-historical values, including the preservation of the harmony of historical truths. At the same time, the evaluation of the character of Iskandar, the main character of the poem «Iskandarname», as a type of historical personality does not go unnoticed. While embodying the image of the genius Nizami Iskander, he opposes the ideas of nationalism, criticizes the unethical nationalist spirit of Ferdowsi’s attitude towards Iskander. In the article, a special place has been devoted to this aspect, and the realities of the spiritual and moral approach in Nizami Ganjavi’s attitude towards Iskander have been analyzed. As we know, N.Ganjavi gave high value to Ferdowsi’s position in Eastern literature and his poem «Shahnama». Although Nizami talks about the merits of the artistic-historical qualities of the Shahnameh poem, he criticizes Firdowsi for the incorrect assessment of historical realities and the personality factor. In the process of analysis, the advantages of Nizami’s truthfulness in relation to Alexander over Firdowsi’s falsification are revealed, and Nizami’s loyalty to historical truths as a Turkish writer is kept in focus. As a result, the false thoughts formed about Alexander in Ferdowsi’s «Shahname» are trivialized and these thoughts are replaced by the real-historical image of Alexander in Nizami’s «Iskandername».
