Abstract

The purpose of this writing is to describe Ahmad Tohari's creative imagination in composing literary works. Data was collected through interviews and document studies. The validity of the data is carried out through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results of the study show Islamic ideology, and family as Ahmad Tohari's creative imagination in composing literary works. The beginning of Ahmad Tohari's writing journey was of course also heavily influenced by the family environment which had instilled the traits and character of a santri, even though Ahmad Tohari did not study at a pesantren. It was this background that made him close to the Nahdlatul Ulama and the big kiai with strong friendships. Ahmad Tohari also tries to continue to search for the meaning of life which is represented in the characters in the short stories. Islam is used as a source of life guidelines for ethics and aesthetics in the texts written by Ahmad Tohari.Tujuan penulisan ini untuk mendeskripsikan imajinasi kreatif Ahmad Tohari dalam menyusun karya sastra.
