أدب الرحلات للأطفال عند عبد التواب يوسف: دراسة وصفية تحليلية

CHILDREN’S TRAVEL LITERATURE IN ABDUL TAWWAB YOUSUF’S WORKS: A DESCRIPTIVE AND ANALYTICAL STUDY

Abstract

This study examines children's travel literature in the works of the Egyptian writer Abdul Tawwab Yousuf, with the aim of highlighting the significance of this literary genre within his broader literary project. It explores the thematic, artistic, and educational characteristics of his travel writings while demonstrating their role in promoting knowledge, cultural awareness, and intellectual development among Arab children. The study is based on the premise that children's travel literature extends beyond the mere description of places and events; rather, it serves as an educational and cultural medium that contributes to the formation of children's personalities, broadens their intellectual horizons, and introduces them to world civilizations through an engaging combination of knowledge and literary enjoyment.

The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, examining selected travel books written by Abdul Tawwab Yousuf through textual analysis of their themes, literary techniques, and educational dimensions. It also draws upon critical studies and scholarly works on children's literature and travel literature to provide a comprehensive analytical framework. The analysis is primarily based on the author's original travel texts, particularly Let's Go to Rome, Let's Go to Stockholm, Let's Go to Berlin, and Let's Go to London, among others. By focusing on the original texts rather than relying solely on previous scholarly opinions, the study seeks to present an objective evaluation of Yousuf's contribution to children's travel literature.
