Master Abstract

Space and Time of Narrative in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and The Journey of Ibn Fattouma by Naguib Mahfouz Abstract This M.A. thesis explores the significance of time and space as fundamental narrative elements in the novel as a literary form. Focusing on – two dystopian novels – Fahrenheit 451 (1953) by Ray Bradbury and The Journey of Ibn Fattouma (1983) by Naguib Mahfouz, the study examines how these elements shape the narrative structure, influence character development, and contribute to thematic depth in both American and Arabic literature, through specific examples. Using Narrative Theory as a framework, the thesis provides a comparative analysis of the two novels, investigating their treatment of narrative time – including order, duration, and frequency – and the construction of narrative space in relation to social, psychological, and philosophical dimensions. The study identifies key similarities and differences between the two texts, highlighting how each author manipulates time and space to serve distinct literary and ideological purposes. Ultimately, this research offers insights into the role of spatiotemporal techniques in storytelling and suggests directions for further study in narrative analysis. Key words: Narratology, Narrative Space, Narrative Time, The Journey of Ibn Fattouma, Fahrenheit 451, Naguib Mahfouz, Ray Bradbury, Spatiotemporal Analysis, Chronotope.
