Fifteen books by Kazakh authors have been donated to the Nobel Library in Stockholm. The initiative was spearheaded by Kazakh journalist and poet Duissenali Alimakyn, who travelled to Sweden at the invitation of the Swedish Academy to conduct research. He presented the library with works by Kazakh writers, including a collection of poems by Abai Kunanbaiuly, an English translation of Ilyas Zhansugurov’s poem Kulager, and a Spanish translation of Talasbek Asemkulov’s novel A Life at Noon. The initiative aims to promote Kazakh literature internationally and aligns with the goals of the nationwide Reading Nation project.
«Nobel librarian Lars said it’s kind of cultural bridges between two countries, including the history and the culture, and some other points to introduce Kazakh literature to the international audience, such as Swedish and some other Nordic cultures,» Alimakyn said.
