And in the stories “Qoyandı qamıs óltirer, erdi namıs óltirer” (literally, reeds can kill a hare, 
his desires can kill a man), “Ármanlı shaytan arba” (literally, an arba with devilish dreams), 
“Iyesine qaytarılǵan qol sharshı” (literally, a handkerchief , returned to the owner), “Júzik” 
(“Ring”), “Keste” (“Embroidery”), we see that in the events of the storyline, the spiritual state of 
the characters and the problems of the fate of all mankind are intertwined and synthesized. 
The literary scholar Yuldosh Solizhanov, paying attention to such issues as the structure, 
theme and problem of Uzbek stories, volume, narrative techniques, types and kinds of characters, 
the ideological and artistic concept of the author, presented the following classification: lyrical 
stories, historical stories, stories in the form of essays, stories based on symbolic description, 
realistic stories, fictional stories, fairy tale stories, fantasy stories [8]. 
However, he noted: «We are far from asserting that this is an established and unchanging 
classification. It can increase or decrease. The reason is that it is difficult to limit the boundaries of a 
work to only one genre»[8]. 
Prominent writers K. Zharimbetov and B. Genzhemuratov argue that “the themes reflected 
in the content of works of art can be numerous, modern literature incorporates historical themes, 
love, fantastic themes, detective, environmental, military and peacetime themes... Such a variety of 
topics sometimes serves to determine genre affiliation. For example, a detective genre, an 
autobiographical story, a historical novel, a fantasy story, etc.” [7.104]. 
Some of these types of stories are also characteristic of the stories of G. Yesemuratova. In 
the story “Biydayzarlıqtaǵı qozǵalań” (“Rebellion in a wheat field”), at first glance it seems that 
there is a description of an everyday, unremarkable life. Through the image of “wheat”, the author 
reveals the characters of some people who live in the shadow of the “those in power”, like unripe 
wheat: neither by deeds nor words can they support, stand out, etc. And through the image of 
«Baiterek» - a branchy tree - the characters of some officials, who do not allow others to enjoy the 
rays of the sun, think only of themselves. Based on these features of the story, we can assume that 
we are talking about a symbolic genre. 
After analyzing the writer’s stories, we see that the depiction of plot events, the preservation 
of the unity of time and place in creating the image of the hero, there is a typification of characters 
based on real behavior, relationships and actions. The presence of these features in the works of G. 
Yesemuratova shows the predominance of reality and life truth in her stories. 
Along with this, in the work of G. Yesemuratova there are legend stories based on fairy 
tales: “Soqır jılan” (“Blind snake”), “Jolbarıstı baǵındırǵan hayal” (“The woman who tamed the 
tiger”), “Meniń anam basqa” (“My mother is different”), “Qoldawlı urıwınıń payda bolıwı haqqında 
ápsana” (Legend about the origin of the Koldauly clan). 
One of the characteristic features of the writer’s stories are stories that appeared under the 
influence of road trips, in which the author’s skill in the artistic depiction of life events in an artistic 
and literary manner is manifested. In particular, the stories «Ana» («Mother»), «Sol Tanya qayda 
eken ?!» (“Where is this Tanya?”), “Náreste” (“Child”).
