“The Treasury of Mysteries” as a valuable monument of the Azerbaijan Renaissance

Abstract

Nizami Ganjavi created a tremendous impression in the world literature with his imperishable five poems. The poet used only Nizami pseudonym in his works. This word means disciplined, temperate, a man of poetry, in other words, poems. The first monumental work of Nizami is Makhzan al-Asrar (“The Treasury of Mysteries”). It is his first writing experience in the field of epic poetry. Whatever the poet says, he thinks about modern life, modern people, and people are mostly narrowminded, captured by greed, fame and lust in this age of injustice, unfairness, oppression and arbitrariness. What saddens Nizami the most is that they dominate others and think they are superior. Key words: modern, poet, poetry, society, play, world
