Sapargali Iskakovich Begalin Biography

As always, when conducting such events, our goal was: to introduce the pupils of the Lyceum to outstanding historical personalities who glorified the Kazakh steppe far beyond its borders, their life and deeds contributing to the development and prosperity of their native people. That was Begalin Sapargali Iskakovich - the founder of children's Kazakh literature, writer, poet.

Traditionally, our guests were employees and director of the Central City Children's Library named after S. Begalina Konarova Alma Seisenovna, who told our students about the writer's books and meetings in the library. And our guest, the granddaughter of the writer Begalina Gulnar Khamitovna, who brought books and exhibits belonging to the famous grandfather about his life, about his work, as he was a man.

The children's writer Sapargali Iskakovich Begalin became no accident. He simply could not help but write for children. Wherever he works, whatever he does, he always loved to be in the circle of children, he was able to make laid -back conversations with them. In his many trips to Kazakhstan, the writer often witnessed a difficult, complete need and deprivation of childhood of aul children.

According to Begalin himself, he finally came to literature only at the end of the 10ths, and it was precisely the desire to tell about these early matured children. Sapargali Begalin is the founder of Kazakh children's literature, perhaps the Kazakhs had practically no children's literature before him. Sapargali Begalin fell a difficult but honorable task, which he completed brilliantly.

About his contribution to Kazakh children's literature, the writer Muzafar Alimbayev said that he, as it were, "raised flowers in a naked place." By the way, it was Muzafar Alimbaev that called Sapargali Begalin the "ambassador of the childhood", releasing a book about him for the writer. He always had a craving for the guys, therefore, when Samuel Marshak and Sergey Mikhalkov evacuated to Alma-Ata proposed creating a section of children's literature at the Union of Writers of Kazakhstan, Sapargali Begalin vividly responded to this.

He loved to repeat the winged saying: "For children, you need to write in the same way as for adults, only better." Twice for meetings with writers and readers in Kazakhstan, Agnia Barto came to Kazakhstan. The book "Writers of Kazakhstan - Children" was published. His first book, a poem for children “Revenge of the Eagle”, written according to the plot of the Kazakh folk legend, was published in the year.

In it, the poet sings the all -conquering power of the human mind. The heroes of his books are courageous, dexterous, smart, cheerful and entrepreneurial guys, dashing riders, well -aimed arrows, excellent skiers and just good people. The restraint did not prevent Begalin from finding a common language with the kids. It seems that this happened because Sapargali Iskakovich, with all the external isolation and seeming inaccessibility in the soul, remained a child.

Without this, there are no good children's writers. From the age of 12 he has been passing cattle. And after the ferocious jute of the year, when the family of searches lost all the sheep, the summer teenager was forced to leave for work in Semipalatinsk, hiring workers on a river marina. But not in vain they say that everyone who came to this world has his own purpose, about which at first he does not even know.

The military service in the front line at the Kolpino station near Petrograd became a kind of political school, and since Begalin had already looked at the world through the eyes of the poet, the events of those years could not help but result in poetic lines. Moreover, it was then, according to the researchers of his work, he begins to be deeply imbued with the poetry of Abay, who saw the purpose of the poet in an irreconcilable struggle against evil.

This was a distinctive feature of creativity and Sapargali Sortakovich Begalin. In X family, the Begalins moved to Alma-Ata. The Great Patriotic War made adjustments to the seemingly established life. Six people left the Begalins' clan, three returned, others remained on the battlefields in Europe. Despite the difficulties of wartime, Sapargali Begalin very actively worked as a writer.

He glorified the courage and stamina of Soviet people in the verses of Jamil, Russian Girl, Ballad about 16. In the years, he collected a large bibliographic material about Jambul Jabaev and his associates, the genealogy of many clans of the senior Zhuz: Uysunov, Zhalairov, Dulatov, Boriksha. The genealogy was recorded from the mouth of Jambul himself. Sapargali Begalin is actively developing the topic - "Chokan Valikhanov and his time." Publishes two novels "Chokan - Teen" and "Youth Chokan." Gulnar Khamitovna Begalina told us about all this and about different moments in the life and work of Sapargali Begalina.
