Abstract: (3400 Views)
Both Jalal-e-Ale Ahmad and Ebrahim-e-Golestan belong to the second generation of Iranian writers. Their close relationships and common experiences in youth have created similarities, especially in the early stories, in their stories. Ale Ahmad expressed his thoughts much earlier than Golestan; however, Ebrahim-e-Golestan has been more accurate and more successful in expressing the same ideas in his fiction. The following paper tries to study these two writers’ works from two dimensions of contexts and techniques. There are many similarities between the contents of their works especially in the first period of writing story.
The similarities between the first series of the stories are of such level that perhaps it can bee said that they were influenced by party-related ideas. From the story techniques, Ale-Ahmad was influenced at the first stage by the French writers in the 19th century and Golestan was influenced by the American writers such as Hemingway and Twin and Bek who were the recently known writers. The closer their physical relation, the more the differences in their stories is.
