Abstract

Introduction:
Throughout history, society and literature have continuously interacted and influenced each other. Art has many sub-branches, and one of these sub-branches is fiction, which includes novels and stories. Novel and story have the ability to keep pace with the two dimensions of literature and society. The authors of fiction literature have also expressed the problems and realities of society in their works, according to their social, geographical, cultural and intellectual structure. Therefore, it can be said that there is a logical link between literature and society.
Methodology:
The method of this research is descriptive-analytical which has used library tools.
Results and Discussion:
Due to the fact that all human beings are dependent on their social environment, as a result, they are influenced by the society they live in and at the same time leave their own traces in it. As an artist, the poet and writer sometimes has a significant impact on the surrounding environment, so that this impact sometimes amounts to a revolution. This condition arises from the intervention of parties who are higher than several people. According to Goldman, these several personalities are transpersonal actors.
Conclusion:
Reza Brahini, a talented writer, like any writer who is influenced by various environmental and social factors in his society, looks at people and society with an open and alert view. As an informed person, he has always paid attention to the issues of his environment and looked at the issues with a critical and enlightened view, and the situation of the social environment and the concerns and issues of the people in the society have become important to him, and he has tried to somehow The format of the plot or the fictional characters should portray these issues.
Brahni is one of the few writers whose female characters in his writings are based on the knowledge of the ruling patriarchal culture. Women in "My Land's Secrets", contrary to the stereotypes of women in Persian literature, are represented in the main characters and have a stronger presence than men in the story. In this novel, with a critical attitude to the history of the revolution, Brahni considers women as the creative and effective forces in the revolution symbolically and in the form of narrative actions. This powerful image of women and their active role and effective activism during the revolution, as well as the power of leadership that was given to them, is rare among social and political novels before the secrets of my land. In fact, Brahni has chosen women to express his thoughts and political ideologies.
