Naguib Mahfouz between the novel and the novelistic literature

There is no doubt that the Arab reader is in urgent need to review his great intellectual heritage represented by literature, history, philosophy, jurisprudence, Kalam science, and other fields of culture and knowledge. And since the acquisition of this comprehensive encyclopedic knowledge is hardly accessible except to a few individuals with distinguished minds and keen insights, it was necessary for us to present this heritage in a concise and comprehensive manner at the same time, so that this proposed framework aligns more with the majority of Arab readers, especially high school and university students. Thus, this series about literary figures from prose and poetry was written by a group of specialists who sought in it ease of style, depth of analysis, and brevity of information, in order to achieve the intended goal of its publication.
