The presentation of
the book «Special assignment» by prominent Kazakh writer and public figure
Kemel Tokayev opened the Baku International Book Fair in Azerbaijan. Translated
into Azerbaijani, the story tells about war and the heroic struggle of
soldier-defenders. The publication was organized by the Turkic Culture and
Heritage Foundation. Kemel Tokayev is one of the founders of the detective
genre in Kazakh literature. The writer has made a significant contribution to
the development of the Turkic culture and the art of the word. Last year, his
novel «Night shot» was also released in Azerbaijani.
«The book «Special assignment» by outstanding
Kazakh writer and public figure Kemel Tokayev from the series «Pearls of Turkic
literature» is another edition of the Foundation. Besides his writing, he was
engaged in journalism, covering Kazakhstan’s cultural and social problems. This
publication is the Foundation’s contribution to the study of the outstanding
writer’s rich creativity and will serve to popularize his literary heritage. I
am confident that the book will become a valuable source for future generations,»
