Abstract

The relationship between the arts and each other is almost unanimously agreed upon by art scholars. Many believe that this relationship is not new, but has been rooted since the beginning of human civilizations, as ancient as the artistic genres themselves. This may be the motive that made some decide that there are no boundaries separating one art from another, as the boundaries between the arts are often unclear. This research seeks to study the relationship between the novel and cinema through a complementary relationship. The influence and impact between the art of the novel and the art of cinema has gone beyond narrow frameworks, as the relationship between them has become more effective and diverse. This relationship did not stop at the limits of transferring or promoting literary or cinematic work or searching for a novel that addresses contemporary issues, but rather moved towards developing the technique of literary and cinematic narration, a rich relationship whose priorities include artistic maturity and diversification. Novelists have worked to employ many techniques within the structures of their narrative discourse, especially among the writers of the sixties and the novelists who followed them, who created new narrative forms that are compatible with the circumstances experienced by this generation of creators.
