The most true path to creative immortality is to write from the point of view of eternity. It is from this position that Genghis Aitmatov, a classic of Russian and Kyrgyz literature, a laureate of the prestigious awards writes his prose. His novel-pawn “White Steamboat”, “Peggy Dog, running the edge of the sea of ​​the book”, the novel “Plah” and others translated into dozens of languages ​​and became the property of world literature. Hyingiz Aitmatov gained wide fame after the publication of the story of Jamil in 1957 (in the same year it was translated into French and brought the author world fame). Subsequently, Aitmatov included this work in the book “The Tales of the Mountains and the Steppes”, which also included the very textbook novels “The First Teacher” and “My Topolki in the Red Kosynka”. All three works of the great master of the word are presented in this publication.
