Saudi Novel: Commencements, Efforts, and Headway (3)

Authors

Abstract

The Saudi novel has experienced profound thematic and artistic development changes. Going through the Saudi novel's several stages of development may assist readers in understanding the types of aesthetic advancements made at each step. By tracing the origins, evolution, and importance of Saudi fiction, a significant literary genre, the study aims to shed light on its growth and significance. In this literary work, the researcher uses an analytical-critical approach in keeping with the nature of the literary analysis. The paper gets started with a terse outline of the conception of the novel before moving on to talk over the following topics: the literary status of Makkah Al Mukarramah and an outline of the Arabic and Saudi novel. The paper then goes on to analytically shed light on Hamid Damanhori's novel, The Price of Sacrifice. The paper finishes with recommendable discussions and a conclusion.
