Auteur: Yerkebulan Dzhelbuldin

The author of the book – Dzhelbuldin Yerkebulan Taspayevich, was born in 1934 and died in 2004 in Kazakhstan. He was a teacher, a patriot of his country, who wanted to tell the world about his people – Kazakhs. During his life he was gathering this valuable material and compiling it into his books. The first one « Traditions and Customs of Kazakhs » was published in Kazakhstan in Russian. Then it was translated into English and Kazakh and republished by me – Dana Zheteyeva. The idea of translating the book was expressed to me by my mother. She was a good friend of Yerkebulan Dzhelbuldin. Eventually, I translated it into English and my father translated it into Kazakh. Today this three-lingual book is sold in various book stores in Kazakhstan. I am still working on translation of the two other books – « Great thinkers of Kazakh Steppe » and « The Silk Road ». Also, I translated and published our Kazakh Fairy tales. The first book is called « Fairy Stories from Kazakhstan » and you can find it at the authorhouse website or on my web page www.kazakhstanfairytales.co.uk
