Abstract:
The seven-volume novel Fire Without Smoke, a valuable work by the late Nader Ebrahimi (1315-1387 SH), winner of the 'Selected Storytelling Award Twenty Years After the Revolution', is a narrative of the emergence of the Turkmen people and their life history up to the final years of the Pahlavi rule. In addition to this famous novel, Nader Ebrahimi wrote long travels of Hami and Kami in the homeland, as well as stories such as Deshnām, Badnām, The Crows, A House for Night, and dozens of other stories and plays in several fields: children's and adult literature, theoretical works, translations, articles, and works of this kind, among which the books on Sufis and mystics (An Analytical History of Five Thousand Years of Iranian Fiction) and the novel Fire Without Smoke hold a prominent and distinguished position. This article attempts to recognize the novel Fire Without Smoke, turning to the criticism and analysis of narrative elements including time, place, point of view, characterization, plot, and theme – albeit with a new and different perspective.
