Abstract:
Nader Ebrahimi, one of Iran's greatest contemporary writers, follows a personal and special style in his works. The book "Sufianehā and Arefanehā" is one of his valuable monuments in the field of mystical literature and the novel "The City I Loved Again" is one of his most brilliant works in the field of fiction. Examining the content of the two mentioned works is the main subject of this research. The author appears in the role of a literary critic in "Sufianehā and Arefanehā" and analyzes the book's structure and content. This work is Ebrahimi's only writing about Sophia and, in fact, the analytical history of five thousand years of Iranian fiction literature and a clear example of the connection between mystical literature and the art of storytelling. The novel "The City I Loved Again" is narrated from the perspective of the hero and the main character of the story, the farmer's son. Although this novel has a logical plot, the author's neglect of some points weakens the plot to some extent. Ebrahimi has a practical view of dynamic mysticism in the book "Sufianehā and Arefanehā" and "Once again the city that I loved" is one of the most brilliant and successful after Hoshang Golshiri's novel "Shāzdeh Ehtejāb" in terms of using the flow of mental fluid. The novels are considered and introduce Ebrahimi as a powerful writer and a master of style. The study and comparison of Nader Ebrahimi's two different works shows the confrontation of the author's thought in different states and the breadth of his thinking and his mastery of Iranian and mystical culture, and finally shows the fluid flow and school of mysticism in this culture.
Machine summary:
In "Sufiyaneha va Arifaneha," the author appears in the role of a literary critic and subjects the book to structural and content analysis; this work is not only Ebrahimi's writing about Sufism but is actually an analytical history of five thousand years of Iranian fictional literature and a prominent example of the intertwining of mystical literature and the art of storytelling.
This research attempts, in order to understand Ebrahimi's writing art as much as possible, to introduce only his mystical work, "Sufiyaneha va Arifaneha," and to introduce the novel "Bar Digar Shahri Ke Doost Midashtam" to some extent from the perspective of content and story elements such as: time, place, point of view, imagination, characterization, and plot - albeit with a different and fresh perspective.
Content Analysis of Two Works by Nader Ebrahimi / 193 revolves; however, in connection with "Bar Digar Shahri Ke Doost Midashtam," only one article has been published in the journal "Adabiyat va Falsafe" (Literature and Philosophy) by Mahtab Mohsenpour, in which the author only addresses the four levels of time in the novel under discussion.
