ʕĪsà ʕUbayd, Muqaddima (1921)

Complete text

III-§1.a

بحيث تكون الرواية عبارة عن "دوسيه" يطّلع فيه القارئ على تاريخ حياة إنسان أو صفحة من حياته ،

bi-ḥayṯu takūnu ’l-riwāyaẗ ʕibāraẗ ʕan "dūsīh" yaṭṭaliʕ^u fī-hi ’l-qāriʔ ʕalà tārīḫ ḥayāẗ ʔinsān ʔaw ṣafḥaẗ min ḥayāti-h,

so that the story can serve as something like a dossier¹ in which the reader is informed about a person’s biography or a phase of the latter’s life.

1. ʕUbayd uses the foreign word here: dūsīh.

AR: riwāyaẗ, dūsīh, qāriʔ, tārīḫ, ʔinsān, ḥayāẗ
EN: like a dossier
