THE EPISTLE OF "FARKHOD AND SHIRIN" IS A PERFECTION, DEVELOPMENT AND SYNTHESIS OF TRADITION

This article is dedicated to examining the generalization of innovation in Abdulla Qadiri's novel Otkan Kunlar through the lens of Alisher Navoi's Farhod and Shirin saga. It explores how the epic traditions established by Navoi are reinterpreted and incorporated into Qadiri's narrative. The study analyzes the literary techniques and thematic continuities that link these two works, highlighting how Qadiri's novel both draws from and contributes to the evolution of the epic tradition in Central Asian literature.
