Popis: Storytelling has been one of the most important methods among the Sufis. In addition to the Sufis, ancient writers have always used the narrative to spread their thoughts. Mohammad bin Mahmoud Hamedani, one of the writers of the sixth century AH, the author of the book ‘Wonderfulness of Almighty and Greeb al-Muwadjut’ or ‘Wonderland’, has used narration to express his intentions. In order to find a way of writing and analyzing two stories about the anecdotes of this work, this article uses the methodology of Todorov's constructivism. One of the main components of the critique of a story in the Todorov’s narrative model is its purification and one of the most effective functioning factors is the systematic cohesion of this network. The fundamental issue of the present article, which the authors seek to achieve, is to examine and analyze the extent and the way in which the element ‘Pīrfet’ is used in the structure of Hamedani's stories. In this regard, the main body of the article is a brief recognition of Todorov's narrative model, based on the knowledge of the narrative and the analysis of this effective element in the design of two tales of Hamadani's exclamation. The methodology used in this study is to read two stories and to analyze the structure of their designs based on the model. The overall results showed that, based on the actions, propositions, and logical trajectory of the events of the anecdotes, the plot and the network of the anecdotes, and the event of this simple work are tailored to the personality of the anecdotes and corresponds to the structure of Todorov in the syntax of the story. It can be said that in the narrative of both stories, there is a coherent structure that begins with a balanced and stable situation and, in the middle, with the interactions of the characters, it causes an imbalance, and then the anecdote reaches its climax. In the end, after the passing of events, a new stable condition is formed and the fate of the characters of the anecdotes is determined. Introduction The Book of Wonders or Wonders of Existence is by Mohammad bin Mahmoud Hamedani. Hamadani wrote this book in the second half of the sixth century AH and donated it to Abu Talib Ibn Arsalan, the last Seljuk king of Iraq. Numerous stories have been cited in this book, but in most cases the story has been re-narrated on the occasion of the chapter in a different tone and perspective. This book is full of wonders so that even Hamadani sometimes quotes his story of disbelief, such as: "It is strange and wondrous" and "It is rare and does not accept reason". He says, "If it's true, and if we lied," and says that while some of the anecdotes do not make sense, they should not be considered false. This article seeks to examine contemporary narrative discourse and how it works in the two anecdotes of the Hamedani epic. Constructivism has formed a coalition between the traditional discourses of literature and the new findings of linguistics, one of its major achievements for literature being the "narrative" discourses. Method Structural examination of literary works by analyzing the intra-textual elements and finding the pattern of their linkages provides the grounds for receiving a more appropriate understanding of the nature of those works and can expand the patterns by presenting literary works. Effect processing help. One of the main topics of research in modern literature is the analysis and adaptation of ancient works to modern literary theories. Since "the hallmark of structuralism is that it attempts to present interpretive patterns that help them categorize and interpret a wealth of literary data," the overlap of these patterns with the stories, abilities, and narrative skills of the authors becomes even more apparent. . The purpose of this paper, which uses library resources in a descriptive-analytical manner, is to examine the network of findings in two anecdotes of the Hamadan marvelous anecdotes based on the storytelling model in the Todorov narrative model. Since each of the structuralist theorists defines a different structural form and thus has a different purpose than the others, “narrative theories based on the narrative as a succession of actions. Or a discourse made by the narrator or verbal product that gives the reader order and meaning, can be divided into three different parts. “In the meantime, the Todorov narrative theory belongs to the forefront and is, in fact, the continuation of Props morphology. Conclusion This study analyzes two anecdotes of the "wonder of sympathy" based on Todorov's structuralist narrative that illustrates how meaning is presented in the text. This study shows that the meaning of the text is presented in the form of two narrative grammars and in the form of conclusions which can be summarized as follows: In the first story and the first story in the second story, The main characters of both anecdotes live in a situation they do not like. Therefore, they seek another situation and eventually succeed, but this situation is the opposite of the personality of the second story of Revelation 2, because he cannot find his desired one (the destruction of demons). In other words, in this part of the narrative, the inability of the personality to overcome the "mandatory" or dominant discourse that is unwritten in the text leads to the fulfillment of the personality's (wishful thinking) desire, resulting in the "not finding" text. Ends. Overall, in the narrative of both anecdotes, there is a coherent structure that begins with a state of stability and culminates in the continuation of the story. The complex structure of the two stories, as their events are based on causal relationships and linear timing, is designed to fit the personality of the anecdotes. In these anecdotes, the situation is initially balanced, and the actions of the characters disturb the balance. After the events have passed, a new stable state is formed and the fate of the characters of the anecdotes becomes known. Thus, both anecdotes have a sequence of sequences, and are also timed and have a closed core. Structural analysis of the design of these two anecdotes for achieving a structured network of achievements yielded the following results: 1. Both anecdotes consist of two basic (dynastic) or mainstream anchors that incorporate the first 9 ancillary ancestors and the second anecdote 16 ancillary ones.. Most of the findings follow five of the famous theorems of Todorov's narrative pattern of storytelling..2 3. Constructive Statement Consequences in many cases, action statements are derived from the actions of fictional characters.. The ratio of attributive statements to (current) statements is lower..4 5. The causal order of events is both anecdotal and the sequence of sequences is chained, leading to the logical course of the fictional events, the structure of the sequences network, and ultimately the persuasion of the audience.
