Description
Zabān‑e Ḥāl in Mysticism and Persian Literature is a comprehensive 1,142‑page scholarly work in Persian by renowned literary critic and mysticism scholar Dr. Nasr‑allāh Pourjavādi. It examines the literary technique of "zabān-e ḥāl"—a poetic expression that gives voice to inner states, spiritual qualities, or emotions through imaginative speech attributed to objects, elements, animals, or metaphysical beings. Pourjavādi traces this expressive device in classical and mystical Persian texts—from animals and plants to celestial entities, spiritual states, and abstract concepts like love or justice—showing how Persian poets and writers skillfully brought these voices to life. Drawing on over 500 primary sources, including unpublished manuscripts and mystical treatises, the author explores how zabān-e ḥāl has shaped genres ranging from romantic and allegorical poetry to humor and philosophical prose.
