بعكس فرنسا فإنّ "بلزاك وفلوبر وجونكور وزولا ودوديه" كانوا ويضعون الروايات القصصية المأخوذة عن صور الحياة ، المبنية على الملاحظات الدقيقة ، والتحليلات الصادقة ، والنظريات العلمية ، وبينما كان مرسحهم لا يظهر إلا الروايات الخيالية الضئيلة الجوفاء

in contrast to [the situation] in France where Balzac, Flaubert, Zola and Daudet have created narrative prose after pictures taken from life,¹ built/based on minute observation, faithful analysis and scientific theory,² whereas only hollow, weak, and [totally] fantastic plots³ had been staged in their [sc. the Frenchmen’s] theatres.

1. ṣuwar al-ḥayāẗ: could also mean various forms of life. 2. Lit., ‘views’ – naẓarāt. 3. riwāyāt: see above.
