چکیده:
The historical awakening of Iranian intellectuals reached its peak with the victory of the Constitutional Revolution and entered a new path. One of the areas where the transformations of this current are reflected is the genre of narrative literature, and in this article, we have tried to examine the effects of the reciprocal relationship between these two intellectual and cultural currents. Intellectual reflections have a meaningful alignment with the concepts raised in contemporary literary works, and examining their mutual relationships and influences can be helpful in discovering the potential of contemporary Iranian narrative literature. In the present research, based on library studies and an inductive method, the course of the Iranian intellectual school has been divided into three periods according to the main orientations of intellectuals, and data corresponding to those orientations have been obtained from the literary texts of that period, commensurate with the political-social conditions of the time. The findings show that generations of Iranian intellectuals and their contemporary literary works have gone through trial and error to transition the country from historical backwardness, but all have failed to reach their utopia, a large part of which is depicted in contemporary narrative literature. This literature is a complete mirror of the experience of Iranian intellectuals, and it seems that a precise understanding of these two intellectual and cultural experiences is a suitable way to understand the past and present face of Iranians.

The findings show that generations of Iranian intellectuals and narrative works of their time have gone through trials and errors to transition the country from historical backwardness, but all have failed to reach their ideal city, which a large part of contemporary narrative literature also depicts various aspects of these failures.
First Generation: Awakening and Haste; Infatuation and Naivety The intellectual movement in Iran – whose origin is mainly attributed to the historical period leading up to the Constitutional Movement – from the very beginning of its emergence, was born and accompanied by the will and desire for transformation in the socio-political structure of the country.
“The goal and hope of the second generation of Iranian intellectuals was to modernize and secularize the structure of Iranian society in a systematic and comprehensive way” (Jahanbeglu, 1388: 147); This is why we see that even in the 1299 coup, a patriotic artist like Aref Qazvini became a supporter of Sayyed Zia's Black Cabinet and the Reza Shah Republic (Shams Langroudi, 1387: 163), and Foroughi and Kasravi saw Reza Shah as a savior who embodied the ideals of nationalism and the desire for a powerful central government.
Contemporary Iranian storytelling literature, throughout its hundred-year life, has accumulated valuable experiences; Although it has always been faced with the deficiency that neither in terms of its existentialist view of social and human relationships nor in terms of the form and structure of presenting the work, it has had a noteworthy model in the intellectual history of its ecosystem and has taken all its possessions from the West and used them to address its indigenous issues.
