ANALYSIS OF THE LITERARY PORTRAITS CREATED BY THE FOLKLORIST SCHOLAR

Abstract

  Bukhara Sharif has been world-famous since ancient times for its clever and refined sons. Among the elegant people born, lived, and created in this land of scholars and intellectuals—who have secured a firm position in the world of science through their noble deeds—one of those “deep in thought, deep in intellect, deep in word” Bukharans is the great scholar, outstanding folklorist, and astute researcher of children's literature, Oxunjon Safarov. He was born on February 18, 1940, in the ancient place called Shofirkon in Bukhara Sharif, in the village of Dodbog, into a family of intellectuals. His passion for literature was awakened by his respected mother, the teacher Muazzam aya.
