Suleyman Sani Akhundov: as a connoisseur of the relationship of oral folk literature with written literature

ABSTRACT 

Suleyman Sani Akhundov is one of the artists who made an important contribution to the spread of enlightenment ideas in Azerbaijani literature. The works of him as, who is a successor of M.F.Akhundov's literary school, reflect the people's protest against ignorance, hypocrisy, in short, superstition, along with a lifestyle rich in positive human qualities and deeds. Sources also confirm that the writer took the pseudonym "Sani", which means "second" in arabic, in order to distinguish him from Mirza Fatali Akhundov of the same surname in the literature. One of the reasons why the writer was loved by readers was that he chose the right topic and was able to imitate the spirit of the people. The use of examples of folk literature in written literature serves to preserve national and moral values, folk wisdom. S.S.Akhundov's work also has a great richness in this direction.
