A previously lost manuscript of the play "Zamona Hotini" by the Uzbek poet, writer, playwright, and publicist Abdulkhamid Chulpan has been discovered and published. This information was reported by the press service of the Writers' Union of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The manuscript, once thought to be lost, was found in the collections of the Alisher Navoi State Museum of Literature. It is noted that this unique manuscript is written in Arabic script.
The play "Zamona Hotini" tells the story of an Uzbek woman who, with a small child in her arms, gradually and step by step enters into new social relationships. The book is dedicated to her challenging journey. Although the work reflects the influence of its time, the play is built on eternal values such as honesty, hard work, and respect for human dignity.
The manuscript is particularly valuable because it includes the author's corrections, comments, and a preface by Chulpan himself. The play "Zamona Hotini" has been published in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
This publication will allow a wide audience of readers to become acquainted with this remarkable work, appreciate its artistic merits, and reflect on the timeless questions raised by the author.
