ABDURRAHIM BEY HAGVERDIYEV AND THE REFLECTION OF MULTICULTURAL VALUES IN AZERBAIJANI LITERATURE

Аннотация

Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev (1864–1933) is one of the most prominent figures in Azerbaijani and world literature. His works stand out for their deep philosophical content, artistic richness, and multicultural approach. This study explores how Hagverdiyev reflected multicultural values, religious tolerance, and humanistic ideals in his literary works. Through an analysis of his plays and novellas, such as Agha Mahammad Shah Qajar, Eat the Goose Meat, See Its Taste, The Hungry Men, The Unfortunate Young Man, and others, the article reveals how the author emphasized coexistence, justice, equality, and acceptance of differences. Using the IMRaD structure, this paper identifies the moral, social, and national elements of multiculturalism in Hagverdiyev’s writing and examines their relevance to modern Azerbaijani society.
