From 1936 to 1942, Abu Sarsenbayev headed the Kazakh State United Publishing House. By this time, he had already attracted the attention of discerning readers with the collections “Volga Waves”, “Gift of the Heart”, and “Oath”, dedicated to the life aspirations of his contemporaries. He volunteered for the Great Patriotic War and served in the army until 1946. From the battlefields, Abu returned with the famous collection “White Cloud.” This collection became a symbol of his pure, bright poetry. In 1947-53, he worked as the director of the Kazakh Educational and Pedagogical Publishing House.
His textbooks “Native Language”, “Anthology of Literature”, and “Reading Book” have become reference books for students. Abu Sarsenbayev’s post-war works are dedicated to the heroic everyday life of his compatriots. In the books “Notes of an Officer” and “In the Footsteps of Heroes,” the writer masterfully and with great emotion conveys the inner world of the defenders of the Motherland, achieving exceptional authenticity in artistic representation. The overall height of the sculpture is 3.5 meters. The monument glorifies Abu Sarsenbayev’s great contribution to Kazakh literature and culture.
