In this regard, based on the latest approach to nostalgia, which is the result of the conceptualization and research of the 90s, the proposed scrutiny aimed to study nostalgia in reading textbooks presented to the Iranian primary students. Voice for My Homeland and Liberation from the Cage are mainly among the provided stories in primary textbooks in which the activist has been exiled from his homeland to a cage. In these stories, the actors do not get lost in the different cultural atmospheres of the guest land while preserving their national identity and motherland, and they do their best to get rid of the other and reach the real self. Therefore, through a descriptive-analytical study and some library-based resources, it was attempted to comparatively study nostalgia in the reading textbooks. The results of the study revealed that nostalgia, is a self-related, individual-social emotion that has a dual nature of sadness-happiness combined with a kind of longing for the past evoked by an emotional network resulting from an active or passive external stimulus, the experience of the present link to the experience of memories.
