Gabit Musrepov and Sabit Mukanov are some of the personalities who have made Kazakh literature as we know it. In the works, they reflected the most intimate feelings of contemporaries and how the thinking of society changed under the pressure of social changes. The heritage left after them is not just fascinatingly written stories, it is the history of Kazakhstan, transmitted by the pen of talented writers. Not in vain they were awarded various prizes, and the main thing - folk recognition.

They were both extraordinary people. Wide outlook, sharp, creative look at life made them interesting interlocutors and reasonable mentors. Everyone who talked to Sabit Mukanovich or Gabit Mahmutovich noted in them a relentless thirst for creativity. You can plunge into the activity of writers and see how they felt the world around them in the literary and memorial complex dedicated to them.
