The Algerian novel, for the most part, in terms of form and content, represents a depiction of the reality of Algerian society, and the vessel in which the book empties its suffering and repressed.

in fact, it represents a document on the violence and pain experienced by the Algerian people.

therefore, writing the Algerian novel is considered an adventure, especially those that were written in the black decade.

it is trying to raise the level of the techniques of novelist writers in Algeria, especially with the modern literary and intellectual developments that represent a turning point.

decisive in the history of literature, with the changes it imposed on the general concept of the novel and the identification of methods and means to practice the act of criticism on the work of the novelist in a scientific and objective manner.

the novelist's task no longer stops at the limits of depicting reality and revealing the suffering of peoples, and the view of the novelist's work has changed as a work of art that needs creation, creativity and aesthetic achievement, and accordingly we will try to evaluate the aesthetic experience of employing imagination in the novel i seek refuge in god by Saeed Boutajin.

to what extent was Saeed Boutagine able to transcend the limits of reality to achieve literary aesthetics ? and is imagination considered a criterion for aesthetic achievement in the novel “i seek refuge in god” ?
