Abstract

Muhammad Kamel Hussein, a philosopher, scientist, and thinker, had a vision and a position in life, existence, language and knowledge. The unjust village novel is the beginning of the one-day novel in Arabic literature. Although the novel is full of multiple voices and personalities, the author’s voice predominates in what is called self-narration. The intellectual construction of this novel revolves around three main ideas: conscience - order - love. Muhammad Kamel Hussein in his novel An Unjust Village tended to fragment the narrative structure by canceling the logic of the artistic plot and relied on the so-called self-narration in which the events were presented from a vision The novelist, he tells us everything and gives us everything and does not give us a measure of interpretation or thinking, and despite the fact that an unjust village was crowded with many characters and multiple voices, it echoed the author’s voice. It represents the author's ideology. The most important characteristic of the language of (unjust village) is clarity and directness, and it is a language consistent with the author’s conviction, his call and his writings towards finding a new meaning characterized by the ability of direct communication between the creator and the recipient, between the writer and the reader, between the sender and the receiver.
