Publisher's Synopsis
Sociological criticism as one of the approaches of literary criticism is linked to literature on the one hand and sociology on the other hand due to its inherent properties. Among the sociologists of literature, Lucien Goldman was able to introduce a new method called developmental structuralism using the learnings of the Lukacs school. Ali Mohammad afghani paints the image of the society of his time in the novels Husband of Aho Khanum and Shadkaman Dara Qarasu. In the society depicted by Afghani, illiteracy and lack of culture, belief in magic, false beliefs and dry religious prejudices cast a shadow on people's lives. The patriarchy ruling the society and the miserable condition of women are visible, the growing growth of capitalism changes the values of the society and makes deceit, hypocrisy and profiteering rule over human relations. The corruption of the administrative bodies, the increasing prevalence of poverty and the widening of the class gap, the transformation of values and the hateful role of money, which has influence at all levels of society, includes all its members.
