“Valley of the magicians” is a vivid example of a postmodern novel in Azerbaijani literature. Against the background of the cruel real world, shaken in its foundations, the author created an image of the ideal and harmonious world of magicians, where eternal spring, truth and beauty reign. The valley depicted in the novel and contrasted with the real world is the place where the soul and spiritual values live in peace and harmony.
