Creative Originality of Alisher Navoi

Abstract

This paper examines the literary tradition of writing about Iskander, drawing from both Western and Eastern sources. Within the Eastern tradition of khamsanavislik (khamsa writing), every poet, including Alisher Navoi, endeavoured to introduce originality into their dastan (epic) about Iskander. Navoi incorporated new and historical literary materials into his work, introducing the narrative "Iskandar va gado" (Iskander and the Pauper) into the khamsanavislik tradition. This story, integral to understanding the dastan "Saddi Iskandari" (Iskander's Wall), has undergone complex transformations. The paper explores the genesis, sources, and evolution of the story, its reception in the East, and Navoi's contribution to its development
