History, Myths and Recycling Cultures and K. Abdulla’s Uncompleted Manuscript

Summary/Abstract: The focus of this article will be on history in the context of the old and renewal. The main issue with new historical reality lies in the border between truth and fiction. As an example of this issue, I will be examining The Book of My Grandfather Gorgud and its interpretations in modern literature, the depiction of historical facts within the context of deconstruction, with particular references to Post-Soviet Azerbaijani literature and with some comparative lines from other literatures. For this I will apply the interpretation of history throughout, comparing Wild Swans, a novel by Jung Chang and the fiction of Aga Muhammad Shah Gadgar, L. Feuchtwanger’s The Spanish Ballad, with a special focus on Kamal Abdulla’s novel, The Uncompleted Manuscript (Kamal Abdulla, 2004).
