First, the term is illustrated and some definitions are provided. This paper is an attempt to explore this phenomenon in one of the novels of the Afghan-American writer Khalid Hosseini. Yet, in the modern age, the phenomenon has not lost its significance and It drew the attention of many researchers and writers to write about it.
