Analysis of mythological themes in the three works of Abu Trab Khosravi

Myth and its role in forming the intellectual foundation of human societies and its relationship with art and literature is not hidden from anyone. Literature is one of the factors in the life of nations and their immortality. The reflection of these ancient myths and beliefs of the tribes can be seen in the works of writers and poets. Abu Turab Khosravi is one of the contemporary Iranian writers whose interest in myths and sacred texts and mystical literature and mythological and mystical themes can be clearly seen in his three works. Khosravi's works have the themes of a surah with the characteristics of a postmodern novel. Concepts such as existence, word and writing, immortality, death, love, anthropology are the basic themes of his writings. This study aims to analyze the mythological themes of three novels by Abutorab Khosravi; That is, it examines "Asfar Kataban", "Rood Ravi" and "Malkan Azad". The method is descriptive-analytical and the results show that Abu Turab Khosravi creates his novels with an anthropological approach from two sources of myth and mysticism. Using the principles of elementary mythology, mystical literature and religious mythology, he has created his three works with the approach of describing the evolution of the universe and understanding the nature of man and the devil. His goals and aspirations are in the direction of human transcendence and immortality; The throwing of man into timelessness and holy times is the first and beyond history.
