The definite rejection of the contemporary vices, which is the writerly credo of C.T. Aitmatov, is clearly evident in his novel When the Mountains Fall (The Eternal Bride). The view of the Kyrgyz writer is focused on an individual that has found himself in a new historical condition. The humanistic ideas are affirmed in the last novel of C.T. Aitmatov through a series of antitheses – good and evil, high and low, mountains and city, natural and social.
