The Narrative Imagination in the novels of Iraqi Contemporary Generations

Abstract
 Imagining  is a mental construction and intellectual production in the first degree, that is, not material production . A person who imagines  has a mental production and not a  material one, so this person  has a huge ability to call the pent -up and restore the alleged reality
 Considering that the narration depends on imagination and the novel  has a  a color that is not satisfied with silence because  it always  searches for the enlightenment mechanisms and breaking the prevailing pattern. Therefore,  we consider the narrative imagination is an artistic technique. The writer extends  his creative threads to it to increase the imagination in the narrative text
The novel of generations or the novel of the times that is  related to  our topic is a novel that consists  of several continuous integrated novels, and  that may come with parts and separate books, but they  might be  successive which complete each  others.  Characters events, and places are characterized by moving in the wide space of the narrator’s imagination.
Therefore, the  study   is  organized into three chapters.
 The first chapter is the manifestations of the narrative imagination, which included two sections. The first deals with the narrator as  concept and its types. The second is the personality topic and its classifications in the novel
 The second chapter is the narrative event and its structure in which we employ two sections .The first deals with  event coherence. The second is the narrative dialogue
Chapter three deals with  the structure of the narrative space and includes two sections.The first topic is spatial space and the second topic is the temporal space
