Abstract

FANTASY is the most imaginative genre of fiction. FANTASY author resorts to this genre to break the rules and bounds of the real world and create a new world with new rules. FANTASY world teems with surprising events, supernatural creatures, and dream-like settings. FANTASY authors seek to explore a world beyond the bounds of experience in which the readers' improbable wishes become materialized through magic and surprise. The nineteenth century Britain introduced the first fantasies to the Western literature. Italy, France, Sweden, Germany, and the US followed suit as soon as the cultural and social grounds became prepared for the practice of this genre.While the first Iranian fantasies were penned in the early 1920s, they appeared to be nothing but poor imitations due to lack of social grounds. Iranian readership later found access to some of the world’ s greatest FANTASY works thanks to the efforts of translators. However, lack of necessary equipment and training put a halt to the mass production of FANTASY works in Iran until the end of the 1980s. With the end of the Iran-Iraq war in the early 1920s, Iranian authors found the opportunity to write FANTASY works and continue this undertaking until now.This paper is divided into two parts. The first defines FANTASY and investigates its nature. The second sheds some light on its condition, after studying its history and evolution in Persian literature.
