Abstract

The miraculous serves as a narrative form in both Arab and Western literature, representing a novel approach where prose transcends conventional boundaries, allowing for a discourse that is liberated from traditional storytelling structures. The objective of the extraordinary narration frequently involved political projection, instilling fear, or generating astonishment while also aiming to purify souls. This technique is characterized by the disruption of the ordinary and the natural, necessitating extensive explanation and clarification. This approach elicits curiosity, confusion, doubt, anxiety, and fear within the reader, prompting them to pose numerous questions and inquiries. The objective of the remarkable narrative frequently involved political marginalization, inciting fear, or evoking astonishment while simultaneously aiming to purify the souls. The primary factors that motivated the exploration of this topic include both objective and subjective elements, such as personal inclinations towards studying the fantastic and the intention to elucidate its various manifestations.


The short story writer Maitham Al-Khazraji This study focuses on an author recognized for his short story writings, specifically examining the miraculous revelations (manifestations) found in his collection titled "Mail of the Gods." The study is structured with an introduction followed by four main sections: the nature of the miraculous, the miraculousness of the characters, the miraculousness of the events, and the miraculousness of the place. The study concludes with a summary of the results derived from these analyses.
