Abstract

This article addresses the question of the art of autobiography in Les Jours by Taha Housseine and in L’enfant Noir by Camara Laye. To achieve this objective, the study is intended to be analytical, descriptive and comparative. Thus the results of the study indicate that scholars, writers and historians have paid great attention to the Arab and Islamic heritage for a very long time, from the first century AH to the present day. They recorded the biographies of their great scholars, their famous personalities and their prophets in all the arts of science and knowledge, and in all areas of life in general, whether political, social, intellectual, heroic or otherwise. The artistic elements that characterize modern autobiographies are in most cases literary elements, and most of what the Arabs wrote about themselves was formulated in a clear, easy-to-pronounce, well-formed style, based on a precise brevity, characterized by smooth narration and storytelling. These are almost the same artistic elements that are present in the chosen autobiographical works
