| Abstract | ||||
| Political fiction is a genre in which political ideas and events play a dominant role throughout the context, in the form of a literary treatment of the politics, economics, social issues and culture of a nation. Its objective is to reform wrong politics, and expose corrupt and misleading politicians. In most of his works, the political novelist addresses pressing issues such as racism, discrimination, human rights, terrorism, elections, strikes, demonstrations and unjustified wars. This article discusses 'Political Fiction' in brief as a literary genre, citing some of its definitions, historical background showing some of its main figures. It examines national symbols, fake slogans of liberty and free expression, and the alleged war on terrorism and the intervention in the affairs of other countries. Political fiction also examines political references, criticizing politics, racial discrimination, causes of terrorism, and the decline of the American Dream. يستعرض هذا المقال أحد أهم الألوان الأدبية المعاصرة وهو الأدب السياسي وتأثيره المباشر على حياة الناس وذلك من خلال تقديم نماذج أدبية تعكس الواقع والأحداث التاريخية والسياسية اليومية والتي يتم استعراضها بشكل روائي قصصي مثير وذلك للإستفادة منها في الحاضر وتفادى سلبياتها في المستقبل. ويهدف النقاد لهذا النوع الأدبي بغض النظر عن تسليط الضوء على الجوانب السياسية في كتابات الروائيين وإبراز الأساليب الأدبية التي استخدموها لنقل وجهات نظرهم المتعلقة بالأحداث السياسية التي كتبوا عنها إلى نشر الوعي السياسي لدى القارئ من خلال تلك الدراما القصصية المثيرة. وقد ركزت هذه المقالة على الأدب السياسي بشكل عام وأهم رواده، مع ذكر بعض تعريفاته ونشأته وتطوره. | ||||
