يعدّ حضور المكان في روائيّة عبد الرَّحمن منيف من السمات الأساسيّة للرواية العربيّة الحديثة . و لا نبالغ إذا قلنا : إنّ المكان تحوّل إلى شخصيّة رئيسة في أعماله الروائيّة ؛لأنّه يشكّل الفضاء الرئيس للمكونات الروائيّة كلّها ، و هو الحاضن للوجود الإنساني ، لأنّه يتمتع بقابليّة التحوّل و اختزال المفاهيم .
إنّ جزءاً من المشكلة التي يطمح البحث إلى الكشف عنها يقوم على تبيان التصدّعات المكانيّة الكبرى الناجمة عن السلوك الإنساني الذي لا يعطي القضايا الأخلاقيّة و الإنسانيّة أهميّة في سبيل الوصول إلى غاياته الماديّة النفعيّة.
إنّ التحولات الكبرى للمكان في رواية (مدن الملح) كان نتيجة فعل البشر المدمّر للطبيعة البكر (ظاهرها و باطنها) ، فلم يأل منيف جهداً في الكشف عن الآثار النفسيّة و الاجتماعيّة و السياسيّة و الاقتصاديّة ، التي تعرّض لها الإنسان في الجزيرة العربيّة ، و في الوقت نفسه نكتشف أيضاً أنّ المكان ترك تأثيرات في البشر ، فبدأ الإنسان يعش حالة من الاغتراب و الضياع و فقدان الهويّة نتيجة التحولات الكبرى التي تعرّض لها المكان.
The presence of place in Abdul-Rahman Munif's Narratives is one of the principal
characteristics of the modern Arabic Novel. We do not exaggerate to claim that the place
has changed into a central character in his prosaic works, because it represents the
primordial space to all prosaic components, and it stands as the cradle of all human
existence, since it enjoys the possibility of transformation and summarizing concepts.
Part of the problem that this piece of research endeavours to disclose depends on
explaining the magnificent turbulances of place as a result of the human conduct which
does not consider the ethical and human issues quite remarkably since it aims at achieving
its totalitarian and materialistic interests at every cost.
The great shifts of place in the novel Cities of Salt emerge as the outcome of the
destructive human behaviour toward the virgin nature (intrinsically and extrinsically),
where Munif concurrently struggles to uncover the underlying psychological, sociological,
political and economic consequences that the human being of the Arab Peninsula has been
exposed to. At the same time, we conclude that the place has also left observable impacts
on mankind; henceforward, man starts complaining from alienation, disorientation and loss
of identity owing to the grand shifts manifested by the place
