Journal Title: Ancient Land - Year 2025, Vol 7, Issue 3

Abstract

Emerging thr novel in Syria as a result of exposure to the innovations in Western culture that began with Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt.In the following period, French influence increased in the literatures of Egypt, Lebanon and Algeria, and the intellectual class educated in the West brought the novel genre to these regions through translations and quotations. Inspired by the works of Egyptian writers, Syrian writers were particularly influenced by the Romanticism movement. When considering the development of the novel in Syria, it is observed that Romanticism, Realism, and Existentialism were explored in succession, with the dominant belief being that “art is for society.” . This study first provides a brief overview of the introduction and different periods of the novel in Syrian literature before analyzing the work Mashhad ‘Abir (A Brief Scene), written by the Syrian author Fawwaz Haddad, born in 1947, and published in 2007.. The novel has been examined in terms of narrative type and point of view, plot structure, character ensemble, time and place, language and style, themes and theses, narrative techniques, and other literary aspects.. After graduating from the Faculty of Law at Damascus University, Fawwaz Haddad became interested in literature and published his first novel in 1991. Emphasizing social realism and the power of language in his works, the author wrote important works of social criticism under the influence of a realist perspective. In this novel, Fawwaz Haddad, one of the most recent writers, critically analyzes the social structure of Syria by emphasizing themes such as bribery, corruption and injustice. In this novel, Haddad came to the conclusion that the internal decay of the society and the struggle of individuals against these structures in depth and that those who struggle for their values sooner or later achieve their goals.
