Permanent representative of Kazakhstan in UNIESCO and an outstanding public figure Olzhas Suleimenov made a contribution to publication of “On the Top of Karkaraly Hills” in France. In his foreword to the novel Suleimenov wrote that he does not believe in young prose writers. In his opinion one becomes a novelist at the age of 40, when there is big experience of dreams, hopes, love and pain of disappointment behind one’s back. Didar Amantay has come to this life phase, and therefore, his creations are distinguished with artistic depth.

"The quality of his stories, tales and novel carry his philosophic mindset, his ability to concisely and capaciously, almost with a pencil dash, create a vivid character and delineate the plot line", - Olzhas Suleimenov commented.

The novel "Flowers and Books" is devoted to the Turkic mythology closely interlaced with modernity. It is the story of a writer seeking God and the life essence. The author has been working on the book for a year.
