Ziaodin Torabi has recently compiled a new volume on the resistance literature in the Middle East and the Europe. The book is published by the Sacred Defense Research Center.
IBNA: The three chapters of Resistance Literature in the World consider the socio-political conditions of the countries in the Middle East and Europe and examine the resistance literature practiced in the lands. Besides, the works of fiction, drama and poetries that have been produced in the countries are considered in the volume.
The book argued that resistance literature can be categorized into three kinds: religious, national and humanitarian with many overlaps.
The best works by the literati in countries like Egypt, Algeria and Palestine are mustered in the book and are analyzed in details in the first part of the book.
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo is introduced in the second part as one of the best novels in resistance literature which was written as an objection to social miseries in France in the 19th century.
Works by German, Spanish and French writers and poets are also assessed in the book.
