Image of the Turks in Tawfiq Yusuf Awwad’s Novel “al-Raghif”
Journal Title: Mütefekkir - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
The Lebanese author Tawfiq Yusuf Awwad is regarded as one of the important short story and novel writers in Arabic Literature because of his artistic wording, impressive psychological depictions and his emphasis on social issues in his works. al-Raghif is an important novel that mentions the independence struggle of Arabs during World War I. It is apparent that the nationalist movement in the last periods of the Ottomans that emerged in the Balkans and later on grew in Arabic areas, has an impact in Awwad’s ideas. As a result of this idea, it is remarkable that a very negative image of the Ottoman Empire and the Turks is depicted in his book.
