Short stories for martyr Qassem Soleimani in “The White Soldier”

December 9, 2022 - 18:30

The book “The White Soldier” contains twelve stories centered on the martyr general Qassem Soleimani and has recently been published by Soore Mehr publication. 

The book's unveiling ceremony was conducted at the Art Bureau of the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization, and managers of this organization, Abbas Muhammadi, Sasan Nateq, Ali Davudi, and several of the collection's authors were in attendance.

Abbas Muhammadi asserted at the opening of the ceremony that the poetry and stories of many of our elders, as well as the history of literature, have preserved the myths and kept them alive. It is possible to carry on with this literary role-playing in the future and introduce modern mythology.

Sasan Nateq also emphasized that some individuals are always obscured from public view and that their activities are less obvious. This collection of stories thus touches on some of the less obvious features of the martyr Soleimani's character.

The head of the Art Bureau added that a writer or poet picks up a pen to write about his fellow countrymen in the same way that a soldier picks up a gun to defend his nation and fellow citizens. Twelve writers, most of whom are young and reside in different Iranian cities, have written about General Soleimani for this book in order to give readers a brief overview of his life and values.

He also stated that we should never assume that writing does not require primary research. In order to employ first-hand information as the foundation for our works, research is certainly necessary.

Furthermore, Mina Muhammad Hussaini, one of the Afghan authors of the book, said that Martyr Soleimani was not just a national and patriotic hero, but also a worldwide one, and stated that his loss was always a source of pain for other nations as well as for Afghanistan.
