ABSTRACT

       The Cassandra Seal, latest novel of Chingiz Aitmatov, bears a warning message for the doomsday that man prepares for himself. It deals with the consuming / exhausting effects of the communist and capitalist systems on man. Man struggles through his eager logic, to dominate the world that is created by God in its infallible balance. All the following aspects point out to the fact that a doomsday is being prepared: Bringing up Xmen whose parents are unknown, the embryoes which do not wish to be born since they do not like the whales which commit suicide altogether and people who participate them.
