Author Akberen Yelgezek’s New Book, "The Lost Childhood: A True Kazakh Journey," is a Poignant Tale of One Boy’s Journey of Survival, Based on the Author’s Own Childhood

Pasadena, CA, March 12, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Akberen Yelgezek, a well-known Kazakh poet laureate of the Daryn State Youth Prize whose work is multifaceted, diverse, and rich in unexpected images, has completed his new book, “The Lost Childhood: A True Kazakh Journey”: a gripping novel that follows a young orphan boy’s difficult journey to adulthood as he struggles with life’s challenges and difficult relationships with others, as well as mystical experiences of communicating with nature and other forces.

“The story that you are about to read is about my childhood,” writes Yelgezek. “The events described in it are not imaginary. It’s a whirlpool of fate that tried and tested me on this land in this country. I had two goals when I was writing the story.

“First, if there is a child with a similar fate as mine in any part of our motherland, then I want him to read it. He should know that even if each day of his life is unbearably difficult, these stressful days will pass. Make him understand and believe that bright sunny days are yet to come. I wrote this so that he should not doubt that he would become a winner in the future and that he would be the master of his own destiny.

“Secondly, I dedicate this novel to those adults who adopted an orphan. Be kind to this child, brothers and sisters! Don’t hold back kind words. Be softer with these pleading souls!”
