He could also be considered as a writer who has encountered only one class of female. For his women, without exception, are all hard working, needy peasants living in near-starvation villages around the Khorasan province. Nevertheless, his women somehow manage to exist in each case as individuals. They are all credible convincing characters, who cannot be taken away from the text without leaving a considerable gap; something that certainly could not be said about very many authors I have mentioned so far. In Dolat-Abadi`s case, the image of the woman he portrays — repetitious as it may appear — should not come under scrutiny, but rather his concept of goodness and evilness of woman. Chastity is cherished by him to the point that whenever a woman of his, deviates from its path, the reader can be certain that catastrophe shall follow catastrophe. The life of no playful woman could possibly come to a happy end as far as Dolat-Abadi is concerned. This idea obsesses him to such a degree that it either constitutes the leitmotif of his story, or else it forms an important part of it, in almost all his books. `Journey`, `Departure of Suleiman` and `The Man` are among the first category; `With Shabairou`, `The Fable of Baba Sobhan`, `Around the Curve` and `Kolidar` belong to the second.
