The Memoris (yaddashtha)of Sadro aVDin Aitti and his style9s valences

Sadr AlʹDin Ayni (lunar calendar:1256-1333 /1878-1954) is one of the greatest and most influential literary figures of the Persian-Tajiki language in Transoxania. His memoirs are certainly one of the most important prose literary works of the 19th and 20th centuries. Indeed, what are the features of this work that forces the Persian speaking countries to admire it? The alert reader may find the answer to this question when recognizing that in the final years of his life, the author distanced himself from the world in order to gain perspective, as he depicts his childhood in a sweet and fluid language. He presents the Bukhara society and culture in such a way that one could easily call this work Taj iki literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. Ainiʹs prose and writing style is reminiscent of Beyhaqi or Saadiʹs Golestan and is influenced by Georgia and the Balzac. Its elegant style is also slightly layered with socialist ideology and reveals the Russian influence onto writers of that time. For the first time in Iran, this article reviews the literary and linguistic value of this work especially in its assessment of the lives of Persian language speakers who lived in the same era as the author in Transoxania
