About this book
Dr. Naji Gomaa examines the complex relationship between historical record and fictional narrative in the modern Arabic novel. From Granada to Baghdad, the study considers how authors reshape events and figures to produce aesthetic, social, and political meaning for the present. Through selected novels, it asks whether fiction rewrites or reinvents the past and how the archive becomes material for literary imagination.
