Abstract

The text you sent is a summary of a research paper that deals with the topic of the marvelous in Islamic prose, especially the narrative genre of the fable, which involves transformation and metamorphosis. The paper examines the main features of this genre, and studies the conceptual variation of the marvelous in light of the Islamic culture. The paper also explores the cultural sources that nourish the concept by reviewing the Arabic heritage in this regard, and relates it to the technique of imagination that the Arab creative used in his texts, which was evident in its reliance on the lexical dimension, as the old Arabic dictionaries did not lack words, such as the marvelous, the wonder, and the awe.
