Modern Egyptian literature, particularly the novel genre, demonstrates its national characteristics through the vividness and uniqueness of its writers' styles. Although the features of the formation and development of the novel genre and the works of its representatives have been studied to some extent in the literature of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and several other Arab countries of the 20th century, the work of the famous representative of Egyptian literature Salwa Bakr has been relatively little studied. Studying contemporary Egyptian literature, particularly the works of Salwa Bakr, allows for a more complete understanding of the development of general Arabic literature, especially Egyptian literature. Many of her works have been translated into various languages. She is the author of several collections of short stories and novels. The writer's short novel "Rabbits" is also considered a work that has earned readers' recognition for its unique artistry. In this article, the artistry of Salwa Bakr's work "Rabbits" is revealed through quoted passages.
