The world of the Gypsies has attracted writers, artists, and those interested in the humanities in general. It has been studied in detail by novelists, short-story writers, poets, playwrights, anthropologists, historians, and human rights organizations. Media professionals, producers, filmmakers, and fashion designers have also paid attention to them. Each of these fields had its own special motives for its interest in the Gypsies. Since the Gypsies are a common factor in global culture, the idea of comparing their image in Arabic and foreign novels arose, which allows for discerning points of convergence or divergence between the two images, with justification for both, after studying indicators and deducing links. This unveils the image of the Gypsies in the novel as a special human entity. Hence the importance of researcher Mai Banat's study in exploring the extent of convergence of the Gypsy image between the two novelistic traditions on one hand, and sensing the extent of this image's connection to the reality of the Gypsies on the other.
