@article{2017,title={TAYEB SALIH: GENIUS OF ARABIC NOVEL – HIS LIFE, WORKS, AND STATUS IN THE MODERN ARABIC LITERATURE},abstractNode={The Sudanese writer Tayeb Salih, who has been awarded the title of genius of Arab novels (عبقري الرواية العربية) and has been included in the list of the world's top 100 novels and has been organized prize organizations on his behalf, is not well known in our country. With this work, we have aimed to introduce our writer, whose works have brought sound to the world, to the readers of our country with their lives and works and aim to show its distinguished position in modern Arabic literature. Due to political reasons, Sudan, who met at a later stage with the novel and the story which are two indispensable types of modern literature compared to other Arab societies, couldn’t make its presence felt in these two areas apart from the Tayeb Salih’s works. Salih’s reputation has crossed the borders of Sudan with his works and he has brought a new breath to the modern Arabic literature in terms of technique and content and has contributed Arabic literature to reach the level of world literature. His masterpiece, Mawsim al-Hijra ila al-Shamal, is shown as one of the most beautiful examples of postcolonial texts by its content as well as its novel technique.},author={Fetullah YENER},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
