The realism of Legend and the Legend of reality in (Qarabeen Eereshikal)

Abstract

The researcher in the study deals with the collection of short stories (Qarabeen Ershekal) by the storyteller Iman al-Muhammadawi through a critical reading that seeks to reveal the storyteller’s quest to reconstruct the myth according to a new perspective that mixes the real with the imaginary in order to create new beings whose times and spaces intertwine to appear in a new reality from the imagination of the creator who makes reality a myth and the myth a reality. By breaking up the boundaries separating them, bridging the gap between the imaginary and the real, and reuniting their fragments to discover the realistic side in the mythical absolute.
