This article explores the socio-ethical functions of adventure and fantasy genres in children's literature, focusing on the novel "The Land of Sweet Melons" by the People's Writer of Uzbekistan, Khudoyberdi Tukhtabaev. The study highlights the author's skill in exposing real-life vices such as corruption, bureaucracy, and indifference through fantastic characters (Wizard Iblis, Shar Manda, etc.) and satirical techniques (grotesque, personification).
The article argues that Tukhtabaev’s fantastic elements, unlike Western science fiction, are rooted in national folklore and focused on moral and ethical issues. The conclusion emphasizes the pedagogical significance of the novel in fostering critical thinking and a sense of intolerance toward social injustices in the younger generation.
