Abstract AR

الشحاذ (1965) قصة عزلة وكآبة كتبها الروائي المصري نجيب محفوظ الذي يعد ابا الأدب العربي في العصر الحديث.

على وجه التحديد ، يشير في روايته الرائعة المسماة "الشحاذ" إلى أن الرجل غير قادر على تحقيق الانتعاش النفسي بعد ثورة عبد الناصر، فقد ضحى الرجل بوظيفته و عائلته من أجل رغبة تزيد من مشاعر الاغتراب و الاكتئاب لديه مما يؤدي به إلى صرخة عاطفية ضد اللامبالاة.

الهدف الرئيس من الدراسة يسلط الضوء على مفهوم المعضلة الوجودية مشكلة فلسفية و أزمة شخصية لبطل رواية الشحاذ عمر الحمزاوي الذي تقبل الموت بدلا من العيش في الحياة الواقعية ونتيجة لذلك كان يبحث عن معنى الحياة و الوجود و تهرب من حقيقته من خلال البحث عن قيمة جديدة تجدد معنى الحياة التي قادته للاشيء ليجد نفسه يعيش في شخصية مزدوجة و لا يستطيع التخلص منها في نهاية المطاف.

The main aim of the study highlights the concept of existential dilemma as a philosophical problem and personality crisis by the protagonist of The Beggar novel, Omer Al-Hamzawi who had accepted the death instead of living in the real-life, as a result, was looking for the meaning of life, existence and evaded his truth through searching for a new value that renews the meaning of life that guided him to nothing to find himself living in a double personality and could not get rid of it ultimately.
