Abstract

The novel (The Thirteenth Month) is a text full of prohibitions and religious, political and sexual prohibitions, if the writer can include in his narration a group of socially oppressed systems, to deconstruct their cultural structures narratively, trying to question those prohibitions and violating them with the participation of the recipients, and directing the intended vision towards the authority that suppresses those prohibitions, and this is what The writer succeeded in it, by shaping his vision of the world in the text and imposing it on the readers to reproduce and market it, taking advantage of the time and place approaches to the events.
