The representation of the city in Persian novels of the 60s

The main question that this paper pursues is how has Tehran been portrayed in the 1960 s through novels? And in general, what are the urban themes and components in the Farsi novels? Regarding the fact that in the given period, Iran is developing from a traditional society into a partially modern nation-state, therefore carrying all of its problems and contradictions .Six urban novels in the 1960 s have been studied using qualitative analysis. The novels presented a dystopian image of the city. In all these novels, the filthy city transforms the innocent into a heartless and brooding man. And at the same time it depicts a face of blase and sad person.we will describe this study by discovering five main themes: Urban spaces, social groups, human relations .social issues and finally, urban thoughts and attitudes. Among these themes, delightful spaces like the street played a key role in representing the Tehran city, and on the other hand, suffering spaces such as the hospital, asylum and psychiatric hospital depicted another form of the city. These dual aspects of the city, euphoria and suffering, have been replicated in other contexts and, in sum, have implicated the individual involved in the city in endless contradictions.
