The novel “Ufq” and forms of the novel

According to the textbook, “Ufq” reflects the fate of our people on the eve of the war, during the war and in the years after it. In it the digging of the Great Fergana Canal by hand in 45 days, with 160 thousand people on a 270 km work, is recalled as an unmatched feat. Said Ahmad wrote the fates and dreams of the people behind these huge works in three books: “Qirq besh kun”, “Hijron kunlarida”, “Ufq bo‘sag‘asida”. The excerpt “Qochoq” is taken from the second book and gives the tragedy of Ikromjon, Jannat xola and their runaway son Tursunboy. In the work Tursunboy’s deed is condemned and the parents share the blame, since they raised their only son spoiled. But beneath these accusations lies condemnation of the war and of those who brought it about, because the cause of the misfortunes is war; and Abdulla Qahhor judged that in the novel every word is true.
