THE RETROSPECTIVE PLOT IN THE SHORT NOVELS OF CH.AITMATOV

In the article, the plot structure of the artistic work is reflected in the works of the Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov "Jamila" (1958), "To Have and to Lose" (1961), "The First Teacher" (1962), "Mother Earth" (1963), "Farewell, Gyulsary!" (1966)is studied based on the short novels. The plot of these short novels is presented not in chronological order, but in the form of the hero's stories, memoirs, and letters. The events of the past and the present (the time the hero lived) are developed in parallel. It has been proven through analyses that a plot built on the recollections and short novels of a character that disrupts the sequence of plot elements and connects the past and present is a retrospective plot.
