Full Description
Narratives in Modern Arabic Literature: Explorations in Place, Gender, and Ṣūfī Motifs offers a significant contribution to modern Arabic literary studies. By analyzing the roles of place, gender, and Ṣūfī motifs, the book provides a nuanced examination of key thematic elements in the field. Through detailed exploration of works by Nagib Mahfouz, Ibrahim Al-Kōnī, and Nawal Al-Saadawi, it reveals the transformative power of place, challenges traditional gender norms, and unravels complex spiritual symbolism. The inclusion of experimental fiction enriches this interdisciplinary study, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of Arabic and comparative literature, cultural, and gender studies.
"This book represents a comprehensive portrayal of human life - body, soul, time, and place - from a critical perspective of narrative literature. The author, Assadi, carefully selects and interacts with texts, demonstrating a thorough understanding of this art form, drawing from heritage while looking towards the future. It serves as a platform for self-expression, thought, and critique. I hope this inspiring and distinctive journey will open the door for further exploration."
—Professor Dr. Ahmed Safaa Abdul Aziz Al-Ani, Professor of Language and Discourse Analysis, University of Anbar, Iraq - Baghdad March 5, 2024
