Abstract

Eltyeb Salih is a international author and novelist. The pulpits of the international novel knew him through his novel Season of Migration to the North and others. His literal participations in Arabic and international forums confirmed his wide knowledge and his abundant memorization of Arabic poetry especially that of his master Elmutanabi as he used to refer to him. In addition to the novelistic heritage which he left, literature also enjoyed a great achievement through his weekly essay in Elmajala magazine under the title “ Towards a Distant Horizon” . His writings were compiled in the folds of “ Selections” which are the source for the study of “ Eltyeb Sahih as a critic”. The research aims at acquaintance with Salih’s wide knowledge and its impact on the formation of his literal character along with a trial to reveal his critical method and the exploration of the most important issues which he treated critically. Resultantly, the aim is to add a scientific material in the field of literature and criticism to the Sudanese library according to the integrative method which is concerned with the historical, artistically and psychologica features. The study of Eltyeb Salih is achieved via addressing his persona characteristics , his deep knowledge and the impact of the environment on his words, and based on that is the address of his critical method and its characteristics. Added to that his criticism of poetry and prose and the debate he provoked with Taha Hussein, Mahmood Shaker and others about Elmutanabi. The final part of this study treats the critical visions about Salih which are presented by some critics such as Mohammed Elmecci Ibrahim, Abdalla Hamadanlla and Mokhtar Ajouba. The research concludes with findings and the most important one is that Eltyb Salih didn’t intend to adopt a certain critical school but his criticism is mainly based on the tasty impressionistic method and the artistically one.
