Discover the Evolution of Yakut Historical-Biographical Fiction
This monograph offers a comprehensive study of the historical-biographical novel in Yakut literature from the second half of the 20th century to the early 21st century. For the first time, the development of this genre is traced through its stylistic and structural innovations. The origins are explored in folk-poetic traditions and early classic novels with biographical foundations. The evolution of the related novella form—from lyrical-autobiographical to historical-biographical—is also examined.
The book highlights the genre’s syncretism and polyphonism, blending objective reality with historical-philosophical and biographical elements. It focuses on the theme of "personality formation within an era," set against specific socio-historical circumstances. A distinctive feature of the Yakut historical-biographical novel is its organic reliance on folk-poetic traditions, which shapes a unique narrative style and a conceptual world of national identity.
The dynamic genre shifts in Yakut novel writing during this period underscore the continued relevance of historical-biographical fiction and its promising future. This monograph is intended for anyone interested in the history and current state of Yakut literature, including students, postgraduates, and educators in Sakha (Yakutia) schools and institutions.
