Imagination is fertile ground and a fundamental condition for creativity. Its presence in any nation's heritage is a testament to its creative abilities as well as its creative output. Imagination manifested in various forms and shapes in Andalusian literature, revealing to the reader a brilliant civilizational Andalusian spirit and a creative, vibrant mind. Its presence was prominent in the literary genres known in Al-Andalus, including prose, poetry, muwashshahat, and zajal.

Researcher Dr. Dina Malkawi has explored the manifestations and forms of this imagination in Andalusian prose, observing it with a precise, scientific, and meticulous eye. She studied and analyzed it in literary and philosophical stories, fictional debates, and Maqamat, excelling in her presentation, analysis, critique, and comprehensive coverage of its topics, issues, sources, references, and texts, for which she deserves much praise and thanks.

This book, which unveils the creative imagination in the arts of Andalusian prose, is not devoid of its author's own creativity. It is distinguished by its clear vision, methodology, style, language, benefits, and objectives. It is a work that deserves to be a reference for students and researchers in the field of Andalusian studies in particular and Arabic literary studies in general.
