excellent read. I read it along time ago, dont' remember much of it.
but it is about his life, thoughts, dreams and ideas.

Abai was great for Kazaks, because he exposed some dark sides of our national mentality, sort of a feedback and point-to to our own weaknesses

Бұл кітаптан ерекше әсер алдым. Бірақ бай болысқа дүние мүлік ойлап жағымсыз қылықтар шығаратын мінез бізде бұрыннан бар екені кынжылтты. Әкем марқұм айтатын еді осы кітапты жаман характер болу керек болып Құнанбайды аздап өзгерткен деп әйтпесе олда халық мықтысы, ойшылы болған екен мыс..
