Iran and Lebanon Societies during World War I and after it, in Yikki Bud Yikki Naboud, by Muhammad Ali Jamalzadeh, and it was not by Mikhail Naima

Abstract

Comparative literature is considered a type of interdisciplinary studies, which deals with the relationships between the literatures of various nations of the world, and also studies the relationship between literature and other humanities, including the social sciences. The benefit of these studies is generally due to the fact that they result in obtaining important information, a better understanding of the literary works of different nations, and creating a bridge between them. They also lead to more knowledge through contact with other world literatures. This research paper aims, by adopting the descriptive and analytical approach and within the framework of the Slavic or Russian school of comparative literature, especially the views of Victor Maksimovich Zhirmunsky, to study the situation of the Iranian and Lebanese societies during and after World War I in my collection “Yikki Bud Yiki Nabud” (Once upon a time). ) by Muhammad Ali Jamalzadeh” and “It Was Whatever by Mikhail Naima”. The coexistence of the authors in two fairly similar societies, the social contents of both groups and their approach to dealing with social issues, as well as their similarities in various fields, including the title, justify the necessity and importance of conducting this research. The results of the research showed that the two societies were very similar in the midst of World War I and suffered from similar social problems that led to the creation of the two works. The similarities between them in various social fields arise from the great similarity in the reality of the two societies. The unfortunate situation of women, the migration crisis, poverty, division, class divides, identity crisis and other dark social dangers such as suicide, betrayal, bribery and nepotism were among the most important social problems prevalent in that time period.
