This book is the second, expanded and updated edition of the author’s monograph “Roshan Literature” (Tashkent, 2006)
Roshan literature is the first major literary movement in Pashto, formed at the turn of the 16th-17th centuries.
The book is dedicated to the work of the founder of this movement, Bayazd Anoārka, and its other most famous representatives.
Based on a comprehensive analysis of the little-studied works of representatives of the Roshan literary movement, which have not survived to our times in full, the religious-Sufi views, figurative-poetic, genre, and rhythmic features of their prose and poetic works have been studied;
it is shown how the complex philosophical, metaphysical and mystical views of Bāyazҝd Anǖārҝ were transformed in many ways in the works of Roshan poets;
and what is the contribution to the formation and further development of the national classical literature of the Afghans at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries.
Intended for specialists, graduate students, as well as those interested in the classical literature of the peoples of the East.
