Author(s) Sultan E Room

Abstract The story is an ancient literary art which has its existence in literary civilizations and cultures of different peoples and tribes over times. Due to the love and desire of the Arabs to listen to stories, Allah Almighty revealed stories about the former nations in the Glorious Quran. The Holy Quran addressed the Arabs in an appropriate manner according to their tendencies and natures of listening to historical news and different stories. The stories of Arabs before Islam were distinguished by the element of realism and characterized by lack of exaggeration and imagination. The short story appeared in modern Arabic literature in Egypt and other Arab countries at the start of the twentieth century and was influenced by the short story in Western literature. Muhammad Taimur is thought to be the actual pioneer in the field of modern arabic short story, who wrote the first story under the title " راطقلا يف " whereas some other Egyptian writers like Taufiq ul-Hakim, Hussain Fawzi, Najib Mahfouz, Ihsan Abdul Quddus, Yousaf Idris and Dr. Taha Wadi etc have also put their contributions in the field of short stories. Dr. Taha Wadi was a prominent Egyptian author and story writer. He has a major contribution to the writing of a variety of literary arts such as story, novel, biography/autobiography and criticism. In particular, he has a skill in writing short stories. He has eight story collections which consist of 98 short stories under various topics. He has described various issues in his short stories. In his creative works, two features i.e alienation(strangeness) and egyptianization seems to be overwhelming. Whereas, alienation is a key feature in the short stories of Taha Wadi. I have selected the topic “Short Stories of Dr. Taha Wadi”(Technical Study) and want to review and analyse the picture of various issues of Egyptian socity drawn by this reputed writer in his arabic short stories. Moreover, my thesis will also encompass various aspects of his life, his literary works and technical study of his short stories. My thesis is composed of two chapters in which each chapter is further divided into two sub chapters. In the first sub chapter of chapter one in my thesis I will provide information about the life of Dr Taha Wadi and his literary contribution in Arabic literature, whereas the second sub chapter of chapter one will be furnished with information about his short stories collections. In chapter two, the first sub chapter will be about the various topics undertaken by the author in his stories collections, whereas in the second sub chapter of chapter two I will focus on the technical analysis of his short stories.
