        Village is among most important subjects which most writers have referred to in their books. There is purity, intimacy and original environment not being polluted by city in the village as there is such oppression and cruelty in it that corrupts its face. We can find few writers or poets who have not spoken about the village and its oppression or beautiful and original nature. Romantics portray magical  beauty and effects of the village as singing birds and very tall trees while Realists show the oppression existing there and describe farmer's miserable life who spend most of their time working on the farm so that they can mention awkwardness and injustices. In this paper, pastoral literature in Iran and Egypt has been discussed and we have compared two novels that is "Al-Arz" by Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sharqawi and Kaleidar by Mahmoud Dowlatabadi and their similarities and differences have been mentioned here. Having invested these novels we concluded that Kaleidar by Dowlatabadi is in highest degree of novelty and technical beauties. Although Al-Sharqawi’s novel, Al-Arz, is a masterpiece in Egyptian literature, we can state without exaggeration that it is not comparable to Kaleidar linguistically and semantically because creator of this novel has written his masterpiece far from ideological tendencies. In addition its language is of highest level in innovation and stability. Manuscript profile

        Abstract         The pattern of fertility is of repetitive and basic one  in the world of mythology which narrates the story of godlady of mermaid 's( love and fertility )in the plantgod  followed by its death and rebirth. George Frazer believes that this common pattern  which is the incarnation of plant growth in spring and its droopiness in the drought of summer and rebirth again in different ways become brilliant in the mythological and epic texts. " The Kaleidar " , the epic and love novel of Mahmood Dowlatabadi is one of the best literary novels that talks about the fertility of myth based on four elements of rebellion , death, fertility and rebirth. The eternal characteristics of The Kaleidar like the mythical – epics heroes of Orisis, Alis, and Siawash challenge the cruel gods and knowingly encounter death and survive once more and revolutionizes the society's thoughts and provoke uprising of the people. Furthermore, the writer of this work has pointed out to the sacrifice's myth  which manifests itself in the archetypal form of filicide, fratricide , and the youth killing. He's also dealt with the opposition of goodness and evil or dualism which are the most important characteristics of Persian mythology and has utilized the mythological stance of well which has an ancient precedence to suit the modern novel in the present day.  Manuscript profile
