Abstract EN

The Arabic fiction, while trying to be innovative, is looking for literary forms capable of displaying the characteristics and merits of the Arab culture.

Therefore, a lot of novelists try not only to delve into the Arabic heritage, culture and history to find about these novelistic formats and modes but also to figure out how to re-organize and use them in new fictional works.

This search can be considered as an attempt to set origins for the Arabic novel, especially that the latter is said to belong to the foreign literature as it was so influenced by it throughout history.

The Algerian fiction is no exception.

A good example of this outlook is the Algerian novelist WacinyLaredj.

His works are full of sections which clearly reflect a link to different ancient heritable books.

They show how much Laredj is under the influence of historic texts such as the stories of "One thousand and One nights", to which his novel "Joumloukia Arabia" has been closely related.

This book is filled with salient instances of intertextuality that refer to "One thousand and One nights".

In fact, such a work mirrors the writer’s creativity in connecting the present with the past and combining imagination with reality in a new fashion.
