Description
"Ahes" by Naguib Mahfouz is a collection of stories that primarily have a realist (realistic) background, yet these stories can be categorized into four distinct groups: The first group consists of stories that, while they seem to photograph the existing reality, reflect it with all its bittersweet moments, good and bad. However, the author uses an artistic approach to convey his message, sharing his thoughts with the reader through a crafted depiction. In the second group, Mahfouz employs the same technique but weaves elements of humor into the reality he presents. The third group blends realism with dreams, creating a fusion of both elements. Lastly, the fourth group takes a more symbolic approach, using symbolism as the main tool.
