Description

Huseyn Javid (1882-1941) was an outstanding Azerbaijani poet and playwright. He was the author of lyric poems, lyric-epic and epic narrative poems, and the first tragedies and dramas in the history of Azerbaijani literature written in verse form. Javid's first book of poems, titled 'Kechmish Gyunler' ('Bygone Days'), was published in 1913. In the first period of his work, lyric pieces on social and philosophical-moral themes predominated ('Oksuz Enver,' 'Choban Turkusu,' 'Kichik Sersary,' 'Dunen ve Bu Gyun,' 'Gadin,' 'Gormadim,' 'Veremli Gyz'). These works describe various grievous moments experienced by their heroes in family and everyday life, the injustice of the times, and the suffering caused by an unjust order. The poems 'Mazlumlar Uchun' ('For the Downtrodden') (1914), 'Guruba Garshi' ('Toward the Sunset'), 'Herb ve Felaket' ('War and Disaster') (1916), and 'Herb Allahy Garshysinda' ('Before the God of War') (1917) reflect a hatred of wars and imperial policy, which lead humanity to tragedies.
