After twenty years of Reza Shah’s dictatorship, the arrival of the Allies permitted some degree of liberalisation in the artistic world.
At the beginning of this period, Tavallali published humoristic poems in the style of Golestan in Farvardin and Sourouch, two well-known journals.
Towards the end of 1944, faced with the misery of everyday life, an oppressive and unjust ruling class, and successive epidemics of typhus and typhoid, Tavallali, like many other young intellectuals, joined the Communist party (Hezbe Toudeh).
He put his heart into fighting against injustice on the side of the poor, publishing hard-hitting articles in the journals Sourouch in Shiraz and Korshide Iran and Iranema in Teheran.
With unprecedented boldness, he denounced the riots in Fars by means of which the Ghasghaie tribal leaders sought to seize power.
He also attacked Ghavam-Saltaneh, the powerful governor of Fars who had British support, as well as Seidzia-Tabatabai, who was at the origin of the autonomist revolt in Azerbaijan.
In 1947, Tavallali, Khalile Maleki, Nima Youshidj, Nader Naderpoor, Ebtehadj and many other young Iranian patriots resigned from Hezbe Toudeh .
The outcome of the coup was paralysing for the country’s democrats: he was unable to publish and was obliged to fall back on his own resources and keep quiet.
In 1961 he was able to publish a collection of poems Nafeh (Musk), written in an inventive new style on psychological themes with an analytic tendency: “The Castle of Illusions”.
The original composition, the clarity of meaning, the music of the words, the novelty and force of the ideas raise him to the summit of Persian poetry, alongside such great names as Ferdowsi, Nezami, Saadi, Hâfez.
That is why Tavallali was obliged to withdraw from the political world and isolate himself; like Hâfez, he sought refuge in love poetry (ghazal).
His ghazals and didactic works free of any political references were tolerated in literary magazines such as Sokhan, Vahide, and Yaghmâ.
His wife Mahin, to whom he dedicated all his works, founded the literary circle “Khâne-ye-Feridoun” (Feridoun’s House) which regularly brings together writers, poets, historians and researchers.
