Book About:

This book is the story of a young nomadic man whose father took the sheep for grazing, and in a fight over the sheep’s grazing site, was shot dead by a shepherd. The murderer’s family – based on a tradition called “Khonbas” (cease blood) – marries their daughter to the victim’s son, so that he would refrain from killing his father’s murderer for the sake of marital bond. The law of “Khonbas” is the highlight of the Ronj story. A charac-ter called Parviz kills Mansor’s father in a fight and then goes to the front. But before his departure, the elders in the meeting arrange a marriage between Parviz’s sister and Mansor. However, the hatred in the heart of Mansor drives him to look for Parviz in Majnoon Islands to take revenge and also escape the potential punishment. Be-cause with the killing of Parviz at the front, he could have attributed the killing to the Iraqis. To do this, he laid booby traps several times and used methods so that he could attribute the killing of Parviz to the Iraqis . . . Ronj is a mountain peak in the Fars province. The nomadic people living in the slopes of this mountain are Lor tribes. The Ronj story begins with describing the lives of people in the Ronj slopes and builds upon that back-ground. The characters and the theme of the story and its purpose are presented to the reader, and the story con-tinues in the atmosphere of the Holy Defense and Majnoon Island. Ronj is a novel with a background of nomadic and rural subcultures that describes the Holy Defense and the conditions during the Imposed War. The Ronj story is a fiction based on facts that have already happened in the past. These events already existed in the back of the mind of the author and then he had started writing them.
