Different narrations of events between history and novel for example the (peshmarga) novel by Rahim Qadhi

Abstract

The shared point between history and novel is generally narrating, but there is a difference in the method and style of narrating. History narrates a number of actual incidents that took place in the past and archive them as documents for the next generations. While novel as a modern genre makes use of actual present or past incidents and remake them again. i.e. novel doesn't pass the incident as it is but it also modifies it. This resulted in a type of novel which is historical novel. This type of novel makes use of historical events and figures in order to present sights of the era.

This study (Different narrations of events between history and novel) tries to marginalize this difference which occurs in the style of narration. The (Peshmarga) a novel by Dr. Rahim Kazi has been chosen as a sample for this purpose. The research is composed of two parts. The first one is theoretical and an attempt to work on terminologies like history, novel, and historical novel which is presented in three sections. The second part is practical and composed of two sections. The first section is working on the relationship between an event and other aspects of novel like setting,  character, and etc... The second section is working on the technical roles of novel in making the historical events in the novel into art. Finally, the result of the research is presented in a number of points with putting the list of references in Harvard style.
