Celebrating Yalda Night

Celebrating Yalda Night  

Iranians around the world celebrate Yalda, which is one of the most ancient Persian festivals. The festival dates back to the time when a majority of Persians were followers of Zoroastrianism prior to the advent of Islam.

On Yalda festival, Iranians celebrate the arrival of winter, the renewal of the sun and the victory of light over darkness.

Considered the longest night of the year, Yalda eve is the night when ancient Iranians celebrated the birth of Mithra, the goddess of light.

Yalda, which means birth, is a Syriac word imported into the Persian language. It is also referred to as Shab-e Chelleh, a celebration of winter solstice on December 21--the last night of fall and the longest night of the year.   

داستان

Last week I went to the theater, the play was very interesting. I didn’t enjoy it! A couple was sitting behind me, talking loudly. I couldn’t hear the actors; so I looked at them angrily. They didn’t pay any attention.
“I can’t hear a word” I said angrily.” it’s none of your business,” he said.” this is a private conversation!”

هفته قبل به تئاتر رفتم. نمایش بسیار جذاب بود.من از آن لذت نبردم.زوجی پشت سر من نشسته بودند و با صدای بلند صحبت می کردند.من نمی توانستم صدای بازیگران را بشنوم،بنابراین با عصبانیت به آنها نگاهی انداختم.آنها توجهی نکردند.با عصبانیت گفتم:”من یک کلمه نمی توانم بشنوم”.مرد گفت:”به تو ربطی ندارد.این یک گفتگوی خصوصی است

Modernism and the Modern Novel

    

The term modernism refers to the radical shift in aesthetic and cultural sensibilities evident in the art and literature of the post-World War One period. The ordered, stable and inherently meaningful world view of the nineteenth century could not, wrote T.S. Eliot, accord with "the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history." Modernism thus marks a distinctive break with Victorian bourgeois morality; rejecting nineteenth-century optimism, they presented a profoundly pessimistic picture of a culture in disarray. This despair often results in an apparent apathy and moral relativism.

In literature, the movement is associated with the works of (among others) Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, H.D., Franz Kafka and Knut Hamsun. In their attempt to throw off the aesthetic burden of the realist novel, these writers introduced a variety of literary tactics and devices:
