"This book contains visions written at intermittent intervals, which, in their form and content, contain a dimension of what the author attained and lived up to in formulation and thinking, and in interest and preoccupation with issues of literature, creatively and critically, to place it in the hands of the reader, so that he may find in it something useful in tasting and understanding the meanings." latent in some fictional texts and short stories, as well as the natural beauty and charms with which they are adorned or displayed generously and gently on the minds and hearts.
The book begins with perceptions about the literature of Naguib Mahfouz and his person, as "the greatest teacher" in the path of the Arabic novel, whose relationship with all those who came after him had many angles, ranging from complete influence, which reached the point of appropriation and imitation, and between rebellion against him and challenge him, or, more precisely, an attempt Emerging from its cloak, in order to renew its form and content, passing through gradual patterns of intertextuality. The author followed this with critical contributions on novels and stories by Egyptian and Arab writers from different generations and literary trends. He wanted the reader to see expressive colors, or a representative sample, of the process of narrative creativity in recent years.
The author has committed himself not to limit his relationship with literature to creating stories, short stories, and novels, as the glossary of his works appended to this book indicates, but also to read what professors and colleagues produce and criticize it with love, sincerity, and impartiality. The careful reader, and the careful and careful student, will notice that everything mentioned in this book has followed one approach in treatment, which is to leave a full opportunity for the text to determine the approach through which it is studied or criticized.
