comThe city has occupied a major place in the international narrative discourse, including the contemporary Arabic one.

The writer treated overlapping transformations deeply rooted in the human experience through its connection to the city that.

They have been formed in a framework of historical urban interactions that established its distinction and created it as a cultural picture engulfing the historical movement, both its positive and negative sides, reflecting the writer's vision now of writing that expresses the self-dimension that seeks the connection with the collective one which the author represents a part of at a while.

It is within this framework that employs the cultural dimension of the city in the narrative discourse that we find Edwar Al-Kharrat representing a unique case in the presence of the city in his narrative discourse.

The city has become a representation of the documented preserved identity, not through direct chronicle, but within an amalgam of the self-awareness of the role and history of the city and the ethnic view that Al-Kharrat relies on in utilizing “Alexandria” that holds great passion emerging from the history which is mixed with the self.
