Abstract

     Arab translators have always paid great attention to the translation of the Persian literary genres, in particular, contemporary Iranian novels. They have always translated for the most prominent Iranian novelists such as Jalal Al Ahmad, Sadiq Hidayat, Mahmoud Dowlatabadi, Bozorg Alavi, Ismail Fasih‎, Houshang Golshiri, Gholam-Hossein Saedi, Simin Daneshvar, Sadiq Chubak, Samad Behrangi and others that have succeeded in perfectly picturing the Iranian society.

      Within the perspectives of Arab translators and by using the descriptive - analytical approach, the present study provides an analytical study of the translation into Arabic some of the modern Persian novels. Moreover, the study also gives a critical analysis of the translation of the  Egyptian Muhammad Alauddin Mansour into Arabic two of the selected models of the Iranian novels: (Termite) by Bozorg Alavi and (Winter 84) by Ismail Fasih.  The study also elucidates a critical analysis of some semantic and stylistic aspects of the translation as well as some of the translator’s committed mistakes between the original and the translated texts.
