رؤيا التضاد بين ارتهانات الواقع، و سلطة المتخيل قراءة في رواية "رحبة ابن فطومة" للروائي نجيب محفوظ

Abstract EN

The present study investigates the vision of paradox upon which the Arab novelist Naguib Mahfouz built his novel Rihlat Ibn Fattoma- The Journey of Ibn Fatouma.

The paper views the paradox as being carried out in this novel through the paradox made between reality and imagination.

Reality was pictured throughout the novel as an image that contradicts the religious values and ideas, virtually an image of truth and honesty, which were differently dealt with in reality.

Mahfouz’s imagination thus comes to serve as a container to express the vision of paradox.
