Abstract

The ‎novel was and still is a literary genre that talks about the issues of man and ‎his ‎society in various forms and patterns, so the novel became a mirror of what is ‎‎happening in society. The writer investigated it, and the Persian and Arab ‎literatures ‎were influenced by each other until they became very close literature, ‎due to the ‎unity of the religion that united these two literatures, so cultural friction ‎has ‎continued since antiquity between the Arab nation and the Persian nation ‎until our ‎time, where we see more than one Arab writer who has been fascinated ‎by Persian ‎culture and civilization. Their tracks are full of the Persian spirit by ‎coming up with ‎names of characters and mentioning events and places And even ‎they translated the largest Persian literary monuments, and the Iraqi ‎novelist was ‎not excluded from this scope. He narrated his novel called The Tobacco ‎Guard ‎from the Iranian knowledge, culture and civilization, and most of the events ‎of his ‎novel and its characters took place in Iran and even spent most of the life of ‎the ‎protagonist in Iran, so he roamed its streets and recorded with his pen the facts ‎‎more accurately. Its details so that we follow in this research an analytical and ‎‎descriptive approach on the civilized face of Iran in the novel The Tobacco ‎Guardian. ‎And the characters who brought about these facts after he used ‎Persian expressions ‎to complete the course of his novel. ‎
