Jafar Jabbarly Biography

He was full of energy, creative plans, ideas regarding the development of national art - literature, theater, cinema. He realized that even in the conditions of the Soviet regime, one could direct efforts to the progress of national culture, and therefore tirelessly worked in this field. As noted by the People's Writer of Azerbaijan Anar Rzaev, “unlike a Javid, who was educated in Turkey, who was passionate about all-eastern topics, who was somewhere in the clouds, Jabbarla stood firmly on his native land, scooped up themes, plots from Azerbaijani life.

This is another difference between the two leading playwrights of that era, and Jafar Jabbarla was absolutely sincere, expressing claims to Javid in an open form. ” The reproaches of Jabbarla Javid in isolation from their native soil are not much different from the arguments of the critics of the time who accused the great writer of the same “sins”. Dzhabbarla's critical statements addressed Javid - they were published in the collection of his works.

Anar admitted that in his youth, Jafar Jabbarly was the most beloved Azerbaijani writer. He re -read his plays many times. Meanwhile, Anar preserved many memories of the relationship between Javid and Jabbarla, he heard something in particular from his parents-the poets of Rasul Rza and Nigar Refibeyli, Anar talked about the time when he studied at a music school, and his parents hired a tutor to him.

It was Savely Yakovlevich Aizen, at one time as a pianist he studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, even somehow played a piano party when Sergei Rachmaninov himself conducted the orchestra. Subsequently, fate abandoned him in Baku, and for many years he worked as a pianist in our drama theater, ”the writer said. There, Aizen met, made friends with Jafar Jabbarla, with whom, they used to drink.

At that time, Aizen was cautiously and at the same time with special Peter, he told my parents about Huseyn Javid when the name Javid was still banned. As if the student was afraid of the teacher’s assessment, ”Savely Yakovlevich stated,” said Anar. As for the parents of Anara, the bitter news of the death of Jafar Jabbarla overtook them in Moscow. I was shocked by the news of the death of my beloved artist, who replaced me with an older brother in the difficult years of my youth.

” The same warm attitude towards Jafar Jabbarla Rasul Rza was the same. He always respected his memory, maintained ties with his family. One of the people close to Jafar Jabbarla, theatrical and film worker Mamed Alily recalled: “Jafar’s attitude towards Rasul was very good. This was transmitted to the family of the playwright. When Rasul's mother died, the widow of Jafar, Sona Hanum, was seriously ill.

She called me, gave me money: “Buy flowers on behalf of the Jabbarla family and put Rasul on the grave of my mother,” she said. Jafar highly appreciated Rasul. " Anar recalled how, during the stay of the famous Turkish poet, Nazim Hikmet in Baku, his father Rasul Rza led him to the grave of Jabbarly. Sona Hanum treated the guests with delicious Kutabs, Akper Babaev - a friend, researcher and translator Nazim - began to read excerpts from the play “Aydin” to the Turkish guest.

After some episode, he said that “Aydin” was like the play “Economic” Nazim Hikmet. The poet immediately corrected him: “Aydin” cannot be like “eccentric” - “eccentric” may be like “aydina”. Of course, when Nazim Hikmet created the “eccentric”, he did not know the play by Jabbarly, but in the poet’s replica the natural modesty inherent in him appeared, ”said Anar.

Rasul RZA left the memoirs dedicated to Jabbarla: “I can’t remember when and how I met Jafar Jabbarly. As if we were always familiar with him. ” Fighting and setting up the play. " Hikmet at the grave of J. From the words of Anara, Rasul RZA once spoke about a dispute with J. Jabbarla: “If I am not mistaken, after the first show of the play“ In a year ”, a sharply negative review appeared in one of the newspapers.

Her author accused Jafar of all kinds of sins. Climbing somehow along the communist street with friends, we met with Jafar. Stopped, greeted. Jafar began to pronounce excitedly: whatever the work I write, his criticism is ready in advance. And you, young, are silent, how you got water in your mouth. ” He spoke with difficulty.

Apparently, he was very offended. I said that I was extremely dissatisfied with the review. A certain interest flashed in Jafar's eyes, as if he had seen me for the first time. Maybe I did not expect such words from me, because in those days some of us young people also did not complain to Jafar. A few days later, in the dispute that we organized in the Drama Theater, we defeated the author of the review.

Jafar was touched by this. He said: "In truth, I thought that you also share the opinion of the reviewer." Rasul Rza recalled his visit to the play “Turn” at the invitation of Jabbarla himself. At a time when Jafar Jabbarly was a famous playwright, Rasul Rzal just entered the world of literature, was the author of only a few verses, stories and articles. Why was Jabbarly considered his opinion, invited to his performance?Jabbarly was such a modest person that he was considered the opinion of any ordinary viewer.

And I was one of the active members of this organization. Many times on public views they did not raise the curtain until the representative of AZAZ appeared in the hall. Yes, there were such times, ”R. said R. Anar said: “At the end of the play“ Turn ”, his father, with his characteristic straightforwardness, said that this play is weaker than other works of Jabbarly.

And in our literary criticism, this play is usually also evaluated as far from the best work of Jabbarly. ” Anar himself noted that in this matter he did not agree with the literary critics, and Rasul Rzu, or with Jabbarly himself. The writer believed that in the renewal, development, achievement of new heights of theater and cinema Azerbaijan, Jafar Jabbarla saw his mission in Soviet times.
