Those articles elaborated on Iranian writers in Germany.

Abstract The article „Iranian Writers in Germany” deals with a small part of Persian literature that arose outside of Iran in Germany after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. In the meantime, this type of literature has found its place in the field of global migration literature. Iranian literature outside of this country has its own character, which of course has a special connection with Iranian culture and society. This article attempts to answer the following questions: What are the motivations for Iranian writers to write abroad? What is the impact of the sphere of influence of Iranian writers' lives abroad on Iranian literature? What elements of Iranian cultural components have become the subject of this type of literature? Under the influence of social and cultural environment, what new forms and compositions will the intellectual and spiritual structure of Iranian writers outside the country take? Finally, what impact did all of these factors have on Iranian literature abroad?
