About the book (In Stories of Peoples)
The book (On Peoples’ Stories) aimed to focus on popular literature in general, and the popular tale in particular, because of its close connection to the literature of the nation and society itself, and a representation of people’s lives and their victories over the pressures of life, and their attempts to achieve their hopes and ambitions through it.
The book includes twenty-five diverse articles in the same field. Each article specializes in a special topic of folk literature or the folk tale and studies it in some detail, such as talking about the narrator of the folk tale and its recipients, and some of its characters who are considered the backbone of every folk tale, such as the princess, the hero, the aggressor, or The evil one, as well as diving into the kingdoms of the jinn and mixing them with the worlds of humans.
