Abstract
The events of the novel (Hunters in a Narrow Street) take place in Baghdad, specifically on Al-Rasheed Street. The novel presents the life of a Palestinian young man named Jamil Farran, who was subjected to displacement like many of his countrymen Palestine, so he is forced to leave his home in Jerusalem to live in a modest house in Bethlehem, and because of The economic conditions of the refugees are trying to search for work outside the country, so he is appointed as a professor of English literature in one of the Iraqi universities, to start a new life experience there. Dialogues between him and them on social, political and cultural issues and little by little and logically he gets to know the women of the aristocratic society like Salma and then Sulafa.
The theme of beautiful love and goodness occupies a creative, novel space with significance in the novelistic event, and we find it artistically with an open, ambiguous beginning, middle and end. Marriage was not achieved for several technical and logical expressions, so the novel ends with a warm kiss and a scene of hugs between the two lovers.
The novel discusses many ideas through its characters, and Jamil Farran participates with them in the dialogue, who expressed his position on those ideas in which the discussion took place between the characters of the novel.
