It seeks to investigate the theoretical and procedural foundations that shape the aesthetics of narrative discourse within the text. The study begins by defining the conceptual framework of narrative rhetoric and examining the "experimental" experience in the literature of the Algerian Ordeal (Adab al-Mihna), highlighting the stylistic peculiarities that distinguish this novelistic endeavor. Furthermore, the study examines the structure of narrative discourse by analyzing: The semiotics of the title. The engineering of time and space. Character-building strategies. The polyphony of narrative voices. The research concludes by demonstrating how these elements coalesce to construct the text’s meanings and aesthetic dimensions. This makes the novel a unique model for utilizing odern narrative mechanisms to express reality through a distinguished artistic and rhetorical style.otherNarrative RhetoricAngels of L'Afran (Novel)ExperimentationNarrative DiscourseLiterature of the OrdealThesis
