Tghariba Al-Abdi’s (Known as “Son of Al-Hamriya”),(Arabic: تغريبة العبيدي ، المشهورة بولد الحمرية), is a novel by the Moroccan novelist Abd al-Rahim Lahbibi this is the third novel he wrote. The novel was published for the first time in 2013 by Dar Africa Al-Sharq in Casablanca. It was shortlisted for the 2014 International Prize[1] for Arabic Fiction, known as the Arab Booker Prize.[2]
Description[edit]
Abd al-Rahim’s relies on a traditional narrative ploy, which is that a researcher, who is here the voice of the novelist, finds a manuscript and seeks to achieve it so that it becomes a university thesis with the help of a specialist. That manuscript is the “Al-Abdi’s Tghariba” to which the novel refers in the title, and it is a manuscript that appears to narrate a journey in search of sources of knowledge undertaken by al-Abdi, in relation to the Abda region, from Morocco to Al-Hijaz, bringing back the journeys of many Moroccan scholars such as Ibn Khaldun. But the trip turns into an analysis of the backward reality of Arabs and Muslims, and Al-Abdi's emphasis on the need to take advantage of Europe to overcome that backwardness. This means that the story is divided into two parts, in each section a journey, the journey of the narrator or narrator to achieve the manuscript, and the journey of “Abdi” to learn. The ending remains open at the end of the novel, where we see "Al-Abdi" as a patient looking forward to recovery.[3]
Structure[edit]
The novel is divided into eleven chapters.[4]
- Chapter One, "From the womb of the mother's tale", written as in the story teller, the Masviwi researcher.
