Dawrah-yi Qājār dar Āynah-yi Sah Asar-i Tārīkh-i Mulk'ārā, Haqāyiq'al-Akhbār-i Nāṣirī va Afsānah-yi Qājār: Persian 1403

Texts have always been formed and narrated in a discursive space, either in favor of or against governments. Meanwhile, historical and literary texts are on the same level in terms of representing real events. By analyzing the interrelatedness of two historical narratives and a fictional narrative, this book seeks to show how and under the influence of what discourses, some historical events and figures have changed in the language of official writers and why historical narratives are often devoid of the voices of women and the general public, and only through the discourse of silence can some of these voices be heard. Historical novels also play an effective role in reading historical events. As stated in this book, the author of the historical novel Afasneh Qajar has used the power of imagination to reconstruct the fallen parts of official history and recreate a view of the economic, cultural, and social situation of the Qajar period. Before entering into the main topics, this book provides an overview of the political and social conditions of the Qajar period and historiography and historical novels during this period, so this book is suitable for all those interested in history and culture.
