A presentation of the historical novel “Kanzhygaly Bugenbay” by the professor of the Department of Kazakh language and journalism of PSU Serik Yelikpai was held in the regional library named after S.Toraighyrov.

According to S. Yelikpai, this is the first novel in the Pavlodar region on a historical topic in a long time.

-This is a novel about the hero of Kazakhstan, the Kazakh commander, Kanzhygaly Bogenbay, - says the author of the novel. - The difference between my main character and others is that he is not a representative “of noble blood” and not a descendant of the aristocracy, but a simple man of the people.

When writing the book, he turned to various sources, including the famous Kunstkamera of St. Petersburg (Russia), the archives of Kyiv (Ukraine), and also sources from China.

The book was published in an amount of 1000 copies.

The plan of the author of the work is to publish soon three more novels, on which he is currently working.
