World in Kazakh Literature offers students the best examples of

traditions of the Central Asia steppes and Eurasia. The first part

intellectual history. The book includes an extensive glossary of

environment around them. Written for general audiences and intended

Russian, and Soviet literature or Central Asian studies and world
history, and the history of world civilizations, Summer Evening,
