Reflection of Regional Elements in the Novel Tangsir

Tangsir, a novel by Sadeq Chubak, the well-known Iranian writer, can be classified under the works created by the Southern School of writing. Chubak’s profound familiarity with the culture of the residents of the coasts of the Persian Gulf and the regional and native elements of the southern lands of Iran has made his descriptive and narrative account of the story of Tangsir greatly worthy of attention and deliberation. Following a descriptive-analytic method, this study examined some elements such as ideas and beliefs, behaviors, dialect, accents, and rituals and customs of the people in Bushehr Province alongside its history and natural and anthropological geography )which have a narrative reflection in Tangsir(. The findings of this study not only demonstrate the writer’s deep knowledge of the various historical, geographical, and cultural features of the Tangestan County in Bushehr Province but also bring to light the visible and hidden layers of the beliefs, characteristics, and moral conduct of the people of the south through the eyes of a realist narrator. The most significant of such features are the love of freedom and valor, the love of other human beings, the love of family, and the love of nature and the environment.
