Abstract: In the 20th-century history of Uzbek literature, only a handful of works have stirred significant attention. The
novel "Paradise Seekers," delving into the fate of patriots, addresses a highly sensitive subject for its time and
stands out as a masterpiece by the author. Adib's daring challenge to the pressures of the Soviet totalitarian
system through the creation of this novel deserves considerable praise.
1 INTRODUCTION
In this context, some confessions also validate the
perspectives outlined earlier. In the locales where the
novel was composed, not only was boasting about the
glorious past and deep cultural heritage of our nation
discouraged, comparable to that of Egypt, even
uttering "I am an Uzbek!" in hushed tones would
promptly lead to physical violence. Despite living in
such an environment, Shuhrat managed to articulate
profound ideas and sharp thoughts, drawing
inspiration at times from the language of negative
characters in the work and at other times from the
rhetoric of foreign politicians.
The acknowledgment of Amir Temur, dismissed
in our country as an illiterate bandit, as a great
historical figure is highlighted. Shuhrat brings
attention to the tragic fate of Turonzamin's priceless
cultural monuments, including the unique historical
landmarks in Samarkand, which are being desecrated
indiscriminately. The invaders are portrayed as a
"rusty chain around the neck" of the local people,
attempting to "hang and call it a necklace." Despite
the veneer of censorship introduced in the dependent
country, it is emphasized that it serves only the
interests of autocrats.
The representatives of the Communist Party, now
a tool of dictatorship, extend their influence to all
significant and minor enterprises and institutions. The
excerpt notes that during that period, few writers
dared to address individuals who had reached the
a
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4310-6011
level of meddling even in family affairs - Obidjon A
(2008).
The affirmation of these considerations is
observed in the conversation between Azam and the
French major within the novel, serving as an avenue
for expressing the writer's ideals:
"I am well-versed in the history of Timur; I
studied it in my youth. A great commander. I fail to
comprehend why Soviet historians refuse to
acknowledge him. Is it for trespassing on other
people's land? Did not Napoleon and Alexander the
Great invade foreign lands and shed blood? Why are
they labeled as warlords, while Timur is branded as
bloodthirsty? He united warring tribes and
established a great state."
"I regret not dying in Samarkand. They say one
should not die in Rome. But careless gossip, isn't it?"
the major attempted to engage him in conversation.
Azam, who had never been to Samarkand, pleaded,
"That's correct!" He then recalled reading about the
restoration of historical monuments in the newspaper
and corrected himself, "They are renovating it. Such
restoration is akin to watering an elephant with a
spoon."
The major was intrigued by the final statement.
Seizing the opportunity, he offered another glass,
remarking, "That's enough, my dear! We understand!
Moscow remains indifferent to the fate of national
republics and does not value their monuments. In
some places, they say that conflict-ridden Bukhara is
unrecognizable, pitted against Baghdad" (126).

2 DISCUSSIONS
It is clear from the essence of the dialogue that the
writer is describing the painful points in his heart in
the language of Major.
“On December 31...suddenly we were called to the
science and culture department of the Center,” recalls
Pirimkul Kadirov. - Borsam, Domla Yashin, Hamid
Ghulam, Askad Mukhtar, Adil Yaqubov, Matyakub
Koshjanov - a total of more than ten famous writers
and literary experts gathered. If I'm not mistaken, it
was the end of 1981. At that time, Sharof Rashidov
was alive. A correspondent of “Pravda” newspaper is
also sitting in the department of science and culture.
The head of the department started talking with a
typewritten article of five to ten pages.
- About writer Shuhrat”s novel “Paradise Seekers”...
One of our Uzbek writers wrote for “Pravda”. He
wrote that "this novel of Shuhrat was written in the
spirit of nationalism".
"Sharof Rashidovich wants to know your opinion
about this novel," said the head of the department. -
We need to find out the opinion of the literary
community and then send an answer to "Pravda". We
were pleased that Sharof Rashidovich relied on the
opinion of the literary community in this delicate
matter and found a reasonable way to protect the
writer who was unjustly victimized from the next
slander - Pirimkul Kadirov (1998).
Thus, this novel of the writer also saw the face of the
world with great difficulties and resistance. In fact,
although the events and debates in the novel are taken
from the lives of immigrants, as mentioned above, the
work is actually a condemnation of Russia's colonial
policy, a call to struggle for independence and
freedom, and the life-giving spirit - the idea of
independence.
The novel is of great importance as it reflects the
historical process of the 60s of the 20th century, the
events of that period, and the mentality of the people.
In the novel, writer Saidakbar Haji illuminates the
fate of patriots on the example of people around his
family. In the work, the reality of life with all its
complexity and complexity is turned into an artistic
reality, as well as colonialism and patriotism are
sharply condemned, and independence and freedom
are glorified with sincerity. The writer himself said
about this novel: "Paradise Seekers is a different
novel. I have almost no biography in it. Even if he met,
the image of Ummatali was affected. But in the novel
there are characters who are my ideals", we think that
he meant people like Abulbaraka.
of the novel, the plot of the work consists of two main
directions, the events take place both in our homeland
and abroad. These two lines, at first glance, seem to
develop completely independently, without
connection to each other. But the writer finds both
internal and external connections between them. First
of all, family ties connect Ummatali and
Saidakbarhaji. When Saidakbar Haji fled abroad after
the revolution, he left his daughter and his wife as
wanderers, and kidnapped his son and his faithful
servant. The deceived servant Qurbanali is the father
of Ummatali. Due to this separation, the child loses
track of the father, and the father loses track of the
child, as a result of which they live together for the
rest of their lives. When Ummatali grows up, because
of his father, he becomes a disgrace, he earns the
name of the son of a fugitive-traitor, and many heavy
trades fall on the head of an innocent boy. A rich man
has an intimate relationship with a "rich wife" whom
he cheated and humiliated. The fate of this woman is
also tragic. In fact, this woman, who came from a
poor family and became a "rich wife" against her will,
smokes the isnad jafa, which she acquired for many
years thanks to her husband Saidakbar Haji.
The two directions in the plot of the novel are
connected primarily through past events. The
consequences of the past always affect the actions of
the heroes. These two plot lines in the novel serve to
express an important idea - the expression of the great
truth of our age. The writer is not limited to these, he
also looks for connections between them in the day he
lived. The image of Azam serves this. Ummatali's
close friend, this easy-going, ungrateful servant goes
abroad in search of paradise and ends up in Haji's
house. At the end of the play, representatives of the
two poles collide. Ummatali's patriot, who went
abroad as part of the Soviet delegation, is also aware
of the tragic fate of patriots. will be In the novel, the
author tries to shed light on the conditions of love for
the country and patriotism in the form of Ummatali,
Haji, who has gone abroad in desperation, and Azam,
who has flown into a mirage.
In the novel, representatives of both groups are
looking for paradise in life, that is, truth and
happiness. According to the idea of the novel
"Paradise Seekers", which reflects the national
awakening abroad, the struggle for freedom against
colonialism, it has a deep meaning that the real
paradise is in the Motherland, and true happiness is
achieved through the liberation and development of
the Motherland. and absorbed it into the layers of the
plot of the novel. He tries to prove with convincing
evidence that the path followed by Ummatali is the
only right path, even though it is hard and laborious,
and that the true paradise is the land of man's birth.

Ummatali's life path is very complicated, his past is
tragic, but he does not stay in the whirlpool of
tragedies for a lifetime, he fights for the truth and sees
the celebration of the truth, the victory of honesty
over cruelty, albeit with difficulty. We will be a
witness. It is true that the life of a hero is not full of
joy and celebration, he never forgets the complexity
of life, that there are sad events as well as happy
events in life. y-true shows. At this point, it is worth
quoting the opinions of a literary scholar about the
image of Ummatali: "It seems that conflicts between
positive characters and negative characters are built
in the novel. The task assigned to the main character
Ummatali is not enough. In the composition of the
work, there is also ideological disunity" - Yakubov H
(1969).
In our opinion, we cannot agree with this objection of
the literary scholar. When we observe Ummatali, one
of the leading characters in the novel, we see that the
writer gave many ideas and ideals in her image. In the
work, the events of Ummatali's life are described very
interestingly and convincingly. Ummatali's wife,
Kimmat Khan, is unfaithful and goes into perverted
ways, which is why Ummatali renounces her. Now
for Ummatali, her home and family are completely
alien, at this fragile moment she does not become
"noble" like the heroes of some works, she cannot
forgive the sin of "lost wife", the sensuality of youth
and the pride of humanity do not allow this. , he is
afraid of this place and leaves it completely, he finds
his personal happiness among kind people and builds
a beautiful family with Nafisa. Writer Ummatali's
attitude to work, his poetry is captured when he talks
about his work, the writer poeticizes the labour of
work and his work with great passion. In the work
chapter, the writer's hero is also a poet. He considers
work as creativity, his love for work is combined with
his love for the country, he burns with the desire to
enrich the table of the country, to turn the face of the
mother earth into a paradise, which is being forgotten.
He devotes his life to preserve, increase and restore
the wonderful traditions of our people in the field of
fruit growing. At this point, it is worth quoting the
recognition of literary scholar S. Mirvaliyev: "... the
writer praises and honours the positive qualities
characteristic of people of our time, and first of all he
tries to prove that they are natural, real people. For
this, the writer first of all shows them in the lap of
honourable work" - Mirvaliyev S (1969).
One more characteristic aspect of the writer should be
noted. When he creates images, he does not follow
the path of characterizing them superficially,
attaching the label "good" to them, but tries to reveal
their own "philosophy", "idea". This activity is often
revealed in the process of social work. So how did
Ummatali retrace his derailed life. In the play, it is
vividly revealed that the director of the state farm
Azimkhojayev had a great influence on Ummatali's
broken life. That is, the romantic enthusiasm, elation,
and the desire for innovation characteristic of
Azimkhojayev's image are realistically reflected in
the work. As described in the novel, Azimkhojayev is
a hardworking, humane, intelligent, selfless person
who works tirelessly on himself as a perfect person.
About this image, the writer himself says: "The image
of Azimkhojayev is presented in a slightly different
form. The exact prototype of this image is life today.
Will be our neighbor. His real name is Saidkhoja
Azamhojayev. At one time, he took a backward plot
and raised it to the level of the most advanced and
productive collective farm among the oblast's farms
thanks to his honourable work. In short, I want to
describe a man with a wide spiritual world, sharp
observation, active, humane, initiative, hardworking
employee, whose virtues and image are clear to you".
In the novel, the writer consistently revealed the
activities of the heroes, the moments of joy and happy
situations that happened in them, as well as the
moments of depression and difficult moments in their
psychology. In particular, Nafisa is a woman who
suffered a lot in life. He grew up as an orphan, and
when he was just trying to figure out his life, he met
the innocent Azam and fell into his trap, an oppressor
whose life was ruined. In the novel, Nafisa's delusions,
mistakes and delusions are convincingly described by
the author. Azam puts her through a lot of hard times,
humiliates her, tramples on her feminine sensuality,
takes her abroad and leaves her in isnad. After that,
Nafisa moves along the paths of life, but does not get
depressed, looks to the future with hope and
confidence and finds happiness among kind people
like Ummatali, with their help she can fix her
marriage. In the novel, the writer described
Ummatali's personal life with Nafisa’s complete,
sincere, unselfish love for human kindness with
special excitement and affection.
In the novel “Paradise Seekers” the theme of national
revival in foreign countries, striving for freedom
against colonialism is reflected in a wide and truthful
way. Drama in the novel is expressed not only in the
form of intense mental states, but also in the form of
conflicts between characters. In the novel "Paradise
Seekers", ideological rivals often cut each other's tails
by cunning, and throw stones at each other while
standing in shelters. The conflicts between Azam and
Koplonbek, Koplonbek and Haji, Haji and Clark
develop in the same way. At the same time, there are
open conflicts between the characters in the novel.

Conflicts between Ummatali, Qimmatkhan and the
chief agronomist, Azam and Nafisa, Qurbanali and
Qoplonbek, Qoplonbek and Abulbaraka, Abulbaraka
and Haji are among them. In the novel, the exchanges
between Abulbaraka and Haji are done with great
skill. This conflict between parents and children has
a deep social essence.
“Saidakbar Haji is a complex person. The author does
not easily make this person bad, he does not attach
negative qualities to him. This person seeks to show
his personality in all its complexity, contradictions,
strengths and weaknesses. Saidakbar Haji, on the one
hand, is an extremely cunning, selfish, stone-hearted
person. He once committed many crimes, followed
bad paths, when his life was in danger, he did not back
down from his wickedness, saying that he would
protect his life and property, he lost his son
Abulbaraka from mother's love, and the three girls are
alive. orphaned, separated the simple-minded
Kurbanali from his family, his beloved son, and his
homeland. On the other hand, there are many positive
qualities in this person's nature. He lovingly raises
and educates his daughter Tamanno and his son
Abulbaraka. For the sake of Tamanno, he lives alone
without marrying, he is looking for a way to win the
heart of Kurbanali, whom he took with him, even
though he has been abroad for many years, he has
kept his love for the motherland, national pride, and
pride. the rest He is an extremely entrepreneurial,
knowledgeable person..." - Normatov U (2007). Haji
Saidakbar is a person who fled abroad with his son
Abulbaraka and his servant Qurbanali, leaving behind
his three daughters and a simple-minded wife when
his life was in danger due to the revolution. In the
image of Abulbaraka, another important aspect of the
reality of the great life in the complex period is
expressed, that although he belongs to the family of
Saidakbar Haji, he is completely alien to this family
spiritually. Abulbaraka Haji shares in the misfortunes
of his family, his fate is tragic, but he found a way to
get rid of the tragedy , which is evident in his
objection to Saidakbar Haji: But first of all,
independence should be gained. I do not believe that
one nation, no matter how big and cultured it is, can
save another nation and open its happiness. Every
nation, big or small, must be separate and pull its own
cart. It is invalid for one to ride on the other's
shoulders and say: "I am going to Paradise".
It can be seen that the drama in the novel is expressed
not only in the form of intense mental states, but also
in the form of conflicts between characters.
Continuing the conversation with his father,
Abulbaraka said, "This is a big lie. The opinion of
Parisian corchalons. However, in this country, where
they made their living, such cultures were once
created and such a method was used, which is now
worthy of envy. They mixed everything with the soil.
Now they are strangling theirs by saying "you better
go this way". Anyway, this (colonialism, comment
ours) doesn't go far. There have always been, and still
are, people who look after the national interest of their
people and even die in this way. It is increasing day
by day. Oppression is hard, in his breath. Like a
samovar, it boils from the inside and has a stone...
People's aspiration is a spring, a very strong spring,
let them cover it with dust, put felt in their eyes, but
one day it will burst out", he said.
Abulbaraka never forgets her duty to her father, she
is not innocent, she does not turn away from him even
after she learns about his father's machinations and
the trades that his father made against his birth mother,
worries about his fate. When Abulbaraka falls into
prison, how much he suffers, how many people run to
save him! But when it comes to the issue of social
interests, father and son cannot agree, the paths they
choose in life are different, these paths separate them,
and as time goes by, they become more and more
distant from each other. This estrangement is most
evident in the debates between them. Here is one such
argument:
- Well, tell me, my son, what do you lack from those
in your country.
"Dad, you understand, it's not just about me: I have a
lot of money and a new car like a leech, I mean it, I
said it."
- What else do you need? Know yourself, with others.
- I don't need anything. After all, I'm not a sucker fed
to get fat, if only I knew my belly. I have friends,
neighbors, and even my whole people. Haji realized
that his son's intention was firm. It struck a nerve in
his heart: he was imprisoned again, if he suffered.
- Don't forget, Abulbaraka, the weight of a broken
arm falls on your neck. My neck can't bear your pain
anymore.
Abulbaraka immediately understood his father's
concern.
- Don't worry. Make your bed thick.
- You are not a child anymore.
- Struggle rejuvenates the brave, makes the coward
old - boasted Abulbaraka to the four. "Ten years of an
eagle's life is better than a hundred years of a crow's
life." If a person's strength is the steam of a steam
engine, it should be given to walking, not screaming.
- My son, if only your name would not be blackened,
as they say, a crooked cart ruins the road, and a bad
person spoils the land.
- No, it won't come out. If there is a way, it is already
broken. Now it needs to be fixed.

Haji thought and tried to call his son to justice:
- Don't talk to those who say that I don't have a wife
at home, my heart is a farm, my son. Shame on you!
Don't let your tongue loose. If the tongue was good,
he would have made a wall of hard teeth and locked
it inside!
"It's true, the tongue is boneless, but it breaks the
bone... If I don't keep silent, if he doesn't keep silent,
if you don't keep silent, this iron chain will snap your
neck, dad," said Abulbaraka without haste. - You
know, dad, life is a bicycle. In order to move forward,
it is necessary to turn its wheel... Everything became
clear to the father.
Haji Saidakbar, who knew that his son had become a
stranger to him, lost his heart and said, "Oh my child,
your path is shaky, very shaky!!" said, he forgot to
recite the rosary and left in a sad mood. The boy said
behind him, "The most sacred thing is the blood shed
for national freedom" (358). After these words,
everything becomes clear to Haji - he realizes that his
son's path is different, that he has gone too far from
him, and he cannot be turned back from this path.
Truth is on Abulbaraka's side. Haji feels helpless in
front of this reality.
There is another conflict in the novel. Azam is also a
rival of his father Teshaboy. But at the root of this
rivalry lies selfishness. Azam is a white man who
forgot his filial duty to his father for his personal gain.
The rivalry between Abulbaraka and his father is of a
completely different nature. This conflict is
somewhat complicated, its basis is not based on
personal enmity, but on social interests.
The novel "Paradise Seekers" looks at the twists and
turns of a writer's life with the eyes of a writer,
looking for a big meaning from twists and turns,
directing small details and details to the expression of
the idea of the work, using them as artistic
components, plot and composition elements, it shows
that the skill of serving them to reveal the essence of
characters and to analyse the psychology of
characters has increased. Let's turn to the evidence. In
order to cheer up Haji's daughter Tamanno for her
"unrequited love", the "seven robbers" give her a rare
ring with a diamond eye. Later, this detail will work
for the writer. The author is very helpful in revealing
some aspects of Haji and Koplonbek's character.
When Tamanno's life is in danger after drinking
poison, he remembers a precious ring, and he doesn't
want to be away from his daughter. Or when
Koplonbek escapes from Haji's house, he steals
Tamanno's precious jewelry, including that rare ring.
Here, the ring detail is a plot element, a key to the
character of the characters, and has a great symbolic
meaning. The holy feeling in Tamanno turns into
wealth, an item in the form of a ring, more precisely,
Haji changed the holy feeling into an item. Tamanno's
heart is not interested in those around him. Tamanno
appears to them only as an object, wealth and state,
but this object is easily passed from hand to hand, and
in the end it is stolen by a thief.
Here is another characteristic detail. Such an episode
is presented at the beginning of the work . Haji is
preparing for a feast by slaughtering a sheep in honor
of his daughter Tamanno's return from the resort.
While the sacrificial sheep is being strangled, an old
dog and a leopard approach it. Then such an event
occurs: "The victim saw him:
"Be patient, animal, I will take away yours myself,
you also have sustenance in this," he said and drove
him further with sweet words.
"Don't drive, Haji, a dog who has seen our
homeland!" said Kurbanali.
- If he sees our country, we will give him a plate of
soup and carry it on our lap, let him stay away from
people!
- The owner has no claim to eat from the same plate
as you, his dog could not fit. Haji, you speak
interesting things!- Kurbanali, who did not know who
to take his pain from after patriotism, cut him off
9;76].
Shuhrat correctly interpreted the concept of the
Motherland and the feeling of love for the country by
means of the image of the character of Qurbanali in
the novel "Jannat tehirganan". In a word, the feeling
of love for the motherland, the desire for it, the feeling
of kissing its soil and leaving the world without a
dream is reflected in the image of the innocent patriot
Kurbanali. When creating this image, the writer
follows the path of deep psychological description of
the character.
In the play, the talk about the dog continues again.
The writer tells the history of the dog's arrival here,
describes its current state, and compares it with the
state of Kurbanali. In this comparison, Kurbanali's
mentality, his tragic destiny is seen with all its
intensity:
That dog is now as old as Kurbanali himself. The dog
does not have too much to do with anything, and he
is not disappointed even to ward off the landed flies.
It is lying like a surplus object at one end of a huge
corral like a sacrificial altar. He talks about his
Sacrifice, finds his own meaning in the nodding of his
dumb friend, opening and closing his eyes and
wagging his tail. Even sometimes, when Haji was
driving, he would not be silent, and he would be angry
that he had put this foreigner on the head of this
innocent creature. Sometimes he is glad to have her.
If there were no tigers, who would be in trouble with
Traverse the Landscape of Homeland Serenity on a National Expedition, in Pursuit of Inner Bliss and Paradise
1507

him? ...There is no other companion, friend,
countryman, except this leopard. He listens to what
he says and eats gratefully!.
In the novel, after Koplonbek comes to Haji's house
as a groom, this dog gives the writer a job again.
Koplonbek has no eyes to see this dog, after all, his
name is a leopard, he is startled when his name is
mentioned, the word leopard touches his sensuality.
Foreseeing this, Haji orders Kurbanali to change the
dog's name. A sacrificial dog is given a different
name, but the dog cannot be trained to do so. Tired of
this, Koplonbek shoots him despite Kurbanali's
screams. The salty servant loses his last love in his
rich household, even his lover, "two tigers in one
cage" is too much, the monster in the form of a human
gets to the head of an innocent creature. This event
shakes Haji's household and gives a new impetus to
accelerate the family tragedy. After this incident,
Qurbanali completely turned away from this house
and passed away in this state.
this point, let's pay attention to some of the relations
expressed about the novel: "In the image of the
characters, sometimes violent images and narrative
situations are noticeable" - Ziyovuddinov N (1969).
In our opinion, this accusation is unfounded, as can
be seen from the above quotations from the work.
Also, as we mentioned earlier, the language of the
novel is attractive and full of figurative expressions.
Almost every sentence of the writer is based on a
proverb, a proverb, a joke, or an allusion. In general,
every character in the novel "Paradise Seekers" was
skilfully created by the writer, who, by their example,
encourages people not to go astray, to walk in the
right direction and to work hard. In fact, in their image,
the high moral images of our people who honourably
fulfil their patriotic duties and make a worthy
contribution to the development of our country by
honest work are clearly revealed.
Koplonbek is a very basic person. He comes from a
rich family, and he has no sense of the Motherland.
He is a lowly person who went to the side of the
enemy during the Patriotic War and fought against the
Soviets. Goplonbek gets closer to Haji's family,
arranges an assassination attempt on Azam in order to
reach Tamanno, takes him out of his way, and marries
Tamanno. He enters Haji's family not as a bridegroom,
but as a poisonous snake. He arrested Abulbaraka by
spreading incitement. He humiliates his victim and
hastens his death. He wants to assassinate Haji.
Because of this impure man, Tamanno falls seriously
ill. In short, because of Koplonbek, Haji's family will
be ruined.
Azam is also a traitor, a patriot. However, his fate is
completely different from that of Koplonbek. He
comes from a hard-working family. His father,
Teshaboy, is a farmer. He fed him without eating,
clothed him without wearing it, brought up the young
son of his mother with many dreams and hopes,
educated him and made him an engineer. But Azam
is a ungrateful person who does not sleep while
studying, and who is greedy for wealth. He even
dreamed of marrying a rich girl and getting rich, a
swindler. But the more he strives for wealth and
position, the more these things escape him. His
marriage to Nafisa seems to be the beginning of
unhappiness for him. For this reason, he thinks that
going abroad is the way to salvation and destroys his
life. Looking for paradise, Azam rises above the real
hell of the bright world. After many visits and hard
trades, he fell ill and fell into a dilapidated hut to rest.
This is the punishment of a person who is already
blind and a traitor [11; 490-494].
3 CONCLUSION
In the novel “Paradise Seekers”, Shuhrat has achieved
a great deal of embodying his ideological and artistic
intention in various realistic means. The educational,
educational, moral, and to some extent artistic-
aesthetic value of the novel is unquestionable, and it
is a beautiful example of literature written in its time,
which has not lost its artistic value even now. It
should also be noted that in the novel "Paradise
Seekers" the power of tyrannical peoples is truly
reflected.
