Abstract

The Islamic Revolution of Iran, led by Imam Khomeini (RA) in the contemporary century, launched a new era in the field of sustainability literature in Iran. This revolution, which relied on the teachings of the school, religion, ritual, and the capabilities of the people, ruled over this country without the help and assistance of the powers of that time, which is unprecedented among the revolutions of the contemporary world. It was able to create discourses of resistance and sustainability against the forces of oppression and tyranny, inspired by the pure thoughts of the Prophetic School (PBUH) and the pure Imams (AS), headed by the Ashura School, to bring a new message to the ears of freedom-loving people and anti-tyranny societies worldwide. In this regard, inspired by all the characteristics of the literature of sustainability, orators have tried to leave behind significant works in this literary genre and whisper the call of unity and perseverance in the ears of the oppressed and freedom-seeking people of the Islamic world, and strengthen this spirit among this group, while at the same time engaging in a cultural, literary, social, political, economic, etc. battle with oppressive systems. Among these orators, one is Ms. Belqis Soleimani, who has addressed the subject of sustainability literature in her works and in most of her works writes about the revolutionary spirit of the people of Rabar, the birthplace of day lions and night martyrs, and about the efforts and contributions of the people of that city in the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the sacred defense for future generations. This issue is examined in the novel in question in a descriptive-analytical manner.
