Saeed Nafisi and National Proud

Saeed Nafisi is from a Kermanian learned family who was born in Tehran but never loses his affection towards his ancestral city. His paternal family, in his own words, was doctor for eleven generations, but he became famous in literature and art. Most of his popularity is for writing, emendating and translating hundred books and articles. But another strong aspect with less popularity is his interest in theatre which has been studied according to the attention of Iran's intellectual society to the role of theatre in the improvement of cultural society. In this field his activities consist of protecting perfect and progressive theatres by recommending them, analyzing the works, constituting group and finally writing drama. One of his impressive dramas is "memento of Naser-al-din shah" that propagated and revived "national pride" by presenting the occupation of Tabriz by Russia's army. On that time this expression was repeated by intellectual society all the time. It is the necessity of that time in which Shahrokh Maktoob called it "historical destiny" means nationalism and reviving the spirit of devotion in the early 20th century A.D. in Iran. This article has been written in analytic library method to present this aspect of Saeed Nafisi's life.
