Abstract

In this article the innovation, genre searches and esoteric motives are considered in Kazakh literature. The Kazakh writers, who have researched the national color in the Kazakh literature and they formed a new coloristic, found out the animistic, totemic concepts, the cult of ancestors, the cult, the traditions of venerating graves and the memory of people who have left the world, and the peculiarities of using esoteric cult concepts.
