Abstract

study while presenting the creating factors of style, we analyze the artistic technique and style, structure and linguistic features of the works of the contemporary author, Bijan Najdi (1320-1376). Based on the valuable form and content of his works, he has created a new style through synthesizing poetry and story by a certain delicacy and skill. He had a unique talent in fiction. Beside the research and studies about his works, studying the linguistic, rhetorical and poetical features that has given a notable style to his works, could perhaps show a way to better and more accurate readings of other contemporary Iranian writers. The study includes three of Najdi`s fictional works "The Panthers that have ran with me', "From the street again" and "Unfinished stories". He has approached the language of poetry by the use of a precise and extensive poetic language and has maintained the balance of story elements, so his stories can be called poetic. Although other writers before him tried to synthesize poetry and story but none could achieve his success. First by looking at the causes of literary styles and manner of narration, the defamiliarization and poetical factors will be discussed, and then we try to strive the factors in Najdi`s stories by specific examples in chapter two. This paper assumes that the author utilizes linguistic, rhetorical and poetical principles. The present research attempts to prove this subject by carefully studying his works, analyzing the details and comparing the writer`s stories with the linguistic, rhetorical, and structural principles.
