Introduction
In comparative literature, Persian poetry has a considerable potential in influencing and influencing foreign literature, especially French literature. Iraj Mirza is one of the great poets who in the constitutional era gave successful translations of the La Fontaine's fables. The impact of the constitutional movement on Iraj's poetry and intellectual development is quite evident.In fact, his poetry is the product of the constitutional era, and a variety of voices can be heard from this era in his works.In his poem "The Crow and the Fox" he used his artistic ability to translate native and Persian elements into his poem by making numerous changes and created independent poetry. Shawqi is one of the prominent and pioneering poets of contemporary Arabic poetry who has produced remarkable poems under the influence of La Fontaine.
Materials and Methods
Given the importance of Iraj's position in modern Persian poetry, most new Persian poetry scholars are forced to enter into discussions about his poetry.In the field of Arabic poetry, the book "La Fontaine Superstitions in Arabic Poetry" has elaborated on the influence of La Fontaine ethics on Arabs.
conclusion
Contemporary Persian and Arabic poetry have undergone fundamental developments as constitutional (in Iran) and movement (in Egypt) because of the relationship between Iran and Egypt with Western literature.The translation of these two countries into the modern world was the main driver of these developments. Iraj Mirza and Shawqi's translations of the La Fontaine's fables, although emerging on the path of Iranian-Egyptian literature, but, due to the time and cultural and literary needs of their people, have localized the theme of moral anecdote. Iraj Mirza's translation of the poems of La Fontaine is one of the main manifestations of modernity in the themes of Persian poetry that it has a variety of features in the localization of vocabulary, themes and imagination. Studying each of these cases will be very helpful in analyzing the course of comparative literature in Iran. Shawqi, on the other hand, has opened new doors to Arab poetry by deepening the work of renowned Arab poets and influencing European literature, especially France. Some of Shawqi's poems quoted from the animal language come from his successful works. Shawqi became proficient in the art with the influence of La Fontaine.
