description Since antiquity, the dichotomy of the beautiful and the ugly structures our societies and our relationship to the world. The literature of the XXth and XXIst centuries does not escape this antithesis and opposes the beautiful and proper gesture to the ugly and unseemly gesture. The Tunisian writer Ahmed MAHFOUDH, nicknamed "writer of the city" because all his novels stage the city of Tunis with its medina and its European neighborhoods, manages his universe in terms of space opening to his characters the way of happiness and beauty, on the one hand, but also of frustration and ugliness, on the other. In this perspective, we will reflect on how this novel writing reflects the problem of beauty and ugliness as a symptom of the process of modernization marking the Tunisian society. To this end, we propose a study of the image of the city of Tunis in the work in question to grasp the two concepts of beauty and ugliness that involve each other and, which prove to be richer and more unpredictable than we think.
