The article is devoted to the study of the concept of national character in Mukhtar Auezov's novel «The Path of Abay». In fiction, the national character is a feature of a person's mentality and attitude to the world, also the national traditions of the people are fixed in it. The national character is expressed in the specific actions of the hero. This allows us to trace its evolution, dynamics, and features of development at various stages of national history. In this novel, the national character is shown by creating the image of the great poet Abay. It harmoniously combines ideas about the deep traditions of the people, all the spiritual and moral experiences of previous generations and its evolution under the influence oftime. The national character created by M. Auezov combines the qualities that exist in real life, and it is also the result of a creative process, a conscious generalization of the characteristics and properties of representatives of a certain nation.
