Abstract

The city was formed in the fictional achievements of various approaches that affect the drawing of characters, moving events, suggesting space and time spaces, methods of description and narration, and the various rules of narrative construction. The novel was a mirror of the city in its level of formation of reality, and in its level of displacement from it. The research deals with the spatial space of Beirut in Ghada Al-Samman's novel "Beirut 75" as a description

A fictional space loaded with expressive connotations, and its narrative details are interwoven with the psychological insides of the characters. As the spatial space appears in the novel mixed with the atmosphere of the psychological space; the psychological worlds interact with the spatial boundaries that are framed in releasing the self-movement between two opposing movements: one towards starting and interacting, and the other towards retreating and withdrawing inward, as will appear within the chosen pharmacological action.

The research dealt with an analytical textual approach to stand on the manifestations of spatial space as it appeared in the voice of five characters.
