Dear Esraa,
Perhaps reading this article by Professor Amos Paran may help?
Paran, A. 2008. The role of literature in instructed foreign language learning and teaching: an evidence-based survey. Language Teaching 41, no. 4: 465–96.

Yes, literary works such as novels and short stories can be highly beneficial for English language learners, offering opportunities for language acquisition, cultural understanding, and the development of critical thinking and analytical skills.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of reading when it comes to fostering language skills. Stories and novels act as a reflection, or a gateway, into understanding another culture. They stimulate students' imagination, develop critical abilities, and increase emotional awareness. So, the inclusion of literature is the bridge between the language and the culture.
Thought, many EFL learners face a barrier at the thought of tackling a text in a foreign. language.
Many people normally say "yes". I agree. But according to my own experience and the experience of my students, reading the full versions of long novels may do the learning harm, as the learner may get bored and less motivatedd. Thus I think, that those are the short stories, narratives or comparatively short novels that may certainly help.
they can do that through giving the original text and the translated one at the same page of the novel. Here, the learner use the contrastive analysis in learning the foreign language.
They could prove a real help in terms of developing language, particularly, when these are used for developing the reading and writing skills
certainly, especially when the learner associates his reading with the correct use of a bilingualized dictionary
