Seeing that Tehran has been treated, in so many disciplines, by its different aspects, it is also seems necessary to do a litteray global research on this city. Except the remarkable Stari’s study, who, on the myth of Tehran (1384), has made this city the subject of his mythological research, unfortunately, there is not any other good study on this matter. In this paper, we tried to approach Tehran with geographical criticism that we are going to introduce in detail. This method has been presented by Bertrand Westphal in 2007. The two works on which we will apply this approach, belong to either insider’s and outsider’s point of view, in order to satisfy the geographical criticism needs of multifocality. The descriptions of Tehran given in the works and the role it plays in each of them, are totally different. The aim of the study is to know, by means of the geographical criticism, what are the forms of fictional universe presented by the two authors?
