Résumé

Le roman persan moderne s'est constitue comme genre litteraire a part entiere en un temps ou l'iran etait en pleine transformation politique et sociale (xixes). Ces changements socio-politiques, indeniablement, ont entraine des changements litteraires. Mais reciproquement, la naissance du roman et son evolution ont agi efficacement sur le systeme politico-social. C'est de cette interaction que renait le systeme litteraire persan moderne. Phenomenes majeurs de ce renouveau : l' apparition des media et la reproduction mecanique des textes. Dans le cadre des aides technico-pedagogiques fournies par l'europe, l'iran fait brusquement l'experience des cultures etrangeres. Le francais devient langue pedagogique.

Through technical and pedagogical assistance, provided by eutope, iran suddenly experienced foreign culture. In new academic system french language becomes the main medium of communication for pedagogy and cultural publishing works. A real effort is made in the field of translation. At first, very little difference is made between literary and non-literary materials. But foreign literary patterns cause traditional standards disintegration. Thus, canonical center of persian literary system is transformed by periphery. That process, however, was neither linear nor continuous. A transitory period focuses on three famous narrative works, very representative of conservative traditional and progressive attitudes : ketab-e ahmad, siyahat-name-ye ebrahim beyg, amir arslan.
