قمر علی عباسی کے سفر نامہ ” ایک بار چلو وینس“ میں تاریخی شعور

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Qamar Ali Abbasi [B:1938]is a famous Urdu author, columnist, dramatist, novelist broadcaster and travelogue writer. His travel writing is read by wider circle of readers due to its accessibility in style and richness in thoughts and analysis. This article is an analysis based on historicism theory of his Italy travel depiction "Aik Baar Chalo Venus" [Lets once visit Venus].

Since historic sense is an awareness that results in bilateral relationship between a human and the incidents around him and is cognitive understanding and recognition of past events, periods, and the significance of history in shaping the present and the future. This article analyzes Abbasi point of view and its impact over treatment of facts and resulting style of writing. The results shows that his through knowledge of history resulted in idiosyncratic vision informed with the Eastern traditions and identifying events and persons with sheer duality of otherness. At same time this identification seems almost in all incidents as antithesis of tolerance, acceptance, and respect for diversity.
