Abstract

The world has shrunk to the size of a small box that fits in your pocket, even though science has shrunk the globe to the size of a small town and technological advancements, such as the printing press and the virtual world, have converted it into a house rather than a village. Except for the fact that I witnessed the Abbasid period and the paper shops, whose authors had more vast and creative imaginations than even science fiction authors. With its cinematic, theatrical, and television imagination, literature has not produced a great book. Except that they were unable to place that picture as it grew in the Abbasid era, and it did not reach Sinbad, Shater Hassan, the phoenix, or other characters in One Thousand and One Nights, whose imagination remains a source for all Arab literature. This topic is unappealing, but I will study it as part of my Metoghrephia investigation. Which are about a legendary story that is immortalized in the imagination within analog literature and a narrative style in which the narrator explains an imaginary life that isolates you from reality before bringing you back to it episode by episode. The least you receive is the satisfaction of reading, which increases your appetite and desire to devour books, as reading is the elixir that promotes the desire to read.  Metoghrephia cannot be detached from Myth, and if they met with legends and were detached from narrative structure, some authors of Abbasid literature claim that the Thousand and One Nights are a translation and transmission using Arabic characters. This is implausible, considering the majority of the ideas are presented as conceptions, transmissions, and poetry at the same rate as other comparative works. The events of the Thousand and One Nights, as are the songs by Abu Faraj al-Isfahani, the lectures by Abu al-Fadl al-Isfahani, al-Mustadrif by al-Abshihi and Uyun al-Akhbar by Ibn Qutayba, and Nuzhat al-Noufs by al-Tawhidi and other books, although the Thousand and One Night are less eloquent, thinner, and closer to the language of modern literature and written artifacts. This study aims to investigate these aspects and the visual attraction of myth as a distinctive Arabic product. Although the study is not comparative nor even close to comparative literature, it prioritizes the evidence of myth and the elusiveness of the imagination, as well as the stylistic definitions of typography and their connection to Abbasid literature. The research illustrates the scope of the evolution of fictional literature through the presentation of contemporary folklore discourse and the critical myth of policies, as well as the productiveness of literary thought as narrator and narrative style. What is Metoghrephia exactly? And the narrative's symbolism is distinct from the civilizations of the Abbasid era, as are its depictions of those communities and the extent of their acceptance. And the transition of the narrative from its stagnation as folklore and popular hadiths to global literature that has been translated into more languages than any other work. A potentially difficult project requiring multiple research chairs at a conference. Or it may be published in a magazine, but it may be a door to a deeper study and provide lines of contemporary definitions and phrases on a heritage that is now casting shadows on the other side of the globe and vanishing in its native tongue: Arabic.
