The Natural and the Industrial Place in the Story Collection "Ginoon Wa Maa Ashbah" by Najman Yassin

Abstract

The place is one of the most important elements that make up the beauty of the fictional text. The presence of the place in the fictional work is very important, as there is no story without a place. It is an element of the story and a general drive for the characters and events in the story. The writers are closely linked to the place, as Najman Yassin in this group (Junoon and the like). In this group, the place seems close to it psychologically and spiritually. This study reveals the aesthetics of the place in the stories (Junoon and the like), which is one of the most mature narrative experiences. This study seeks to distinguish the natural places from the industrial ones that the narrator mentioned in the story and analyze them, and his impressions in the fictional text. The first topic is concerned with the natural place, including (the sky, the river, and the mountain), while the second is concerned with the industrial place (the room, the café, and the basement). The study is based on a wide range of sources and references including: "Qaala AlRawee" by Saeed Yaqteen and "Chadal Al Qiraa" by Najeeb Al-Awfi. Finally, the study is relied on the analytical study of the place in the narrative texts to reveal the artistic and aesthetic value of the place.
