The outing of longing in the news of the lovers and the passionate

A brief about the book "Nuzhat al-Ashwaq fi Akhbar al-Mutayimin wal-Ashaq" The Arab narrative heritage has long suffered from neglect, to the extent that any researcher in this heritage lacks the most basic ideas about its historicity or about examining the aspects of the relationship between narrative texts. Even the simplest information about the copies of narrative manuscripts and their availability is absent. It is now time to reconsider this narrative heritage from a modern perspective, not seeing it merely as a trivial popular treasure, but to reevaluate it and uncover the ways it expresses its era and society, away from the false pride that the previous "noble" authority used to disguise itself with. The book "Nuzhat al-Ashwaq fi Akhbar al-Mutayimin wal-Ashaq" is a model among many such models that have been excluded under the banner of "trivial" popular literature, because it does not conform to the standards of the "noble" literary authority. For example, it does not contain brutal vocabulary from "strange language," nor polished verbal patterns, as is the case in traditional Arabic poetry. Instead, the poetry within it falls into an intermediate stage between weak or monotonous expression and spontaneous colloquial lyrical expression. Undoubtedly, the reason for this is that it places poetry in the service of the narrative context to arrange events story-wise.
