This book comprises a number of studies, lectures, and articles that address various aspects of the art of the novel in general. It pays particular attention to elucidating the distinctive forms and features of the modern Arabic novel, whether in terms of its structure, its atmosphere, its connection to the problems of Arab reality and the nature and temperaments of its people, or its relationship to the roots of storytelling in our Arab heritage.
