The year 2020 is the year in which the 1150th anniversary of Abu Nasr al-Farabi is celebrated; this date has been included in the UNESCO Calendar of Anniversaries and is widely marked all over the world. In studying the life and work of the great scholar of the East, the Second Teacher al-Farabi, you encounter the astonishing and beautiful world of philosophy, discover interesting views of the past and become acquainted with contemporary scholars.
And so today an interesting meeting took place with Nurfer Tercan, a scholar from Türkiye who has published the book “The Message of the Wind. Al-Farabi” with the support of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Almaty.
The book is written in an interesting integrated style, with elements of the literary genre present in a scholarly work. According to the author, the book was written with the aim of popularising the knowledge and teachings of al-Farabi among a wide circle of readers. The book has come out in three languages: Turkish, English and Russian.
Nurfer Tercan expressed her admiration for the National Academic Library of Kazakhstan; she enjoys working with the library’s collection, is surprised and delighted by the library’s technical equipment, and works constantly with the portal of the National Electronic Library of Kazakhstan, kazneb.kz.
The books will shortly be made available to users on kazneb.kz
