In this article, we speak about the crystallization of realism, similar themes, similarities between the social, cultural, narrative, and textural context in The desert of love of Mauriac and A Stone upon a grave of Al-Ahmad. Al-Ahmad and Mauriac are after expressing human sufferings. Mauriac and Al-Ahmad enter souls that are empty of love, souls of the sinfulness, and analyze their situations, their aspirations, their desires and their social conditions. Both writers believe that the situations and conditions control and force these personages to do some things. Because of that, these personages are confused and guilty. In fact, the reason of their crimes is their conditions. This descriptive-analytic study is based on the adaptation the theme of the two works of Mauriac and Jalal.
