The “Book of Words” contains the thoughts and reasonings of the outstanding Kazakh thinker Abai Qunanbaiūly. He is very strict towards the Kazakh people: he is indignant at contemporary Kazakh customs and wants people to be merciful, lean towards knowledge, stop envying each other and live in accordance with Sharia. When reading, you may get the impression that you are listening to your own grandfather’s instructions, and these instructions do not lose their relevance.
