تجليات العجائبية في الرواية العربية : "رواية "التبر" و "نزيف الحجر" لإبراهيم الكوني أنموذجا

Abstract EN

The fantasy novel recorded a quantum leap in narrative writing through the unique novelists who created a distinctive character of their own, which shook the traditional framework of the plot and broke the linearity of narration while opening up to many expressive races and different intellectual references.

The most important feature of this novel is its collection of several contradictions in one crucible mixing logic with non-logic and the reasonable with the unreasonable, as it took from the worlds of jinn, humans, metamorphosis and horror to express the state of chaos, alienation and fear experienced by contemporary man, and to extend bridges of communication with the ancient narrative heritage in order to express the contradiction and paradox by employing intimidation and exaggeration to weave a strong and featured text which criticizes reality through non-reality.

The Libyan writer Ibrahim Al-Koni is the most prominent novelist who used the fantastic and mythical form in their novels.

He unveils the amazing desert space with his symbols and gestures, in his novel “Al-Tibr” and "Nazeef Al-hajar" he presented to the reader his vision of the human and Tuareg society, evoking myths, tales and rituals of Tuaregs, religious and Sufi symbols as well as mythology and the metaphysical world with a charming style and poetic language which refer to insights of deep meaning.

With the emergence of contemporary fantasy novels of creative value and distinction that the reader and critic noticed together, we wonder what is the peculiarity and advantage of the fantasy novel over others? What is meant by the term fantasy? what are the conditions of achieving it in the novel? what are its manifestations? And what are its insights?
