Abstract
The Ancient Arabic Fiction (Typology and Analysis of Fiction Elements), a joint work of Khalil Parvini and Hooman Nazemian, is a textbook of Arabic language and literature taught at the fiction course. This book, despite its many advantages, has some shortcomings in form and content, which this study attempt to examine by adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology. This study finds that the textbook has a beautiful appearance, appropriate cut and paper binding, and reasonable price. However, it should be revised in terms of length, typography, etc. The table of contents, though logically and coherently arranged, is very long. From a linguistic point of view; the textbook is written smoothly and fluently, the paragraphs are coherent but sometimes long and tedious, and the rules of writing, except for a few cases, are observed. In terms of content, some parts of the textbook should refer other literary sources. Despite being up-to-date, the textbook is not comprehensive enough to cover required topics. The work is well documented and enjoys a comprehensive bibliography but fails to raise new questions in the minds of the audience.

Abstract
One of the most widely used and effective methods in analyzing various literary and artistic texts and works is their semiotic analysis. One of the contemporary theorists in the field of semiotics is the French Philippe Hamon; His theory is based on four principles: 1. Types of characters - which include reference characters (historical, social, mythical and virtual), mediating characters and pointer characters (indicating the presence of the reader and writer 2. means personality, 3. personality sign 4. levels of personality description. The present study has tried to analyze and reflect this theory based on the semiotic method in the novel Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmad Saadawi. Due to the multiplicity of characters in this novel, the four main characters of Shasmeh, Hadi Al-Atag, Ilyshwa and Faraj Al-Dalal are considered. The results of the research indicate that the selected characters are the type of mediating or pointing characters that the author has used to express his thoughts and in fact, by including them in the novel, he has shown his freedom and patriotism thoughts. The meaning of the characters is also expressed more through the introduction by the author; He uses sentences with special care that acquaints the reader well with the intellectual and mental level of the character used. At the level of description, Saadawi has carefully stated all the physical, psychological and social characteristics of individuals. The choice of name is also made with a certain obsession.
