Mikhail Naimy

Mikhail Naimy is a unique humanitarian school and a luminous doctrine among the noblest doctrines of Arab and global human thought. This dramatic novel is Mikhail Naimy's first theatrical work, and he extracted it from the core of our Eastern life. It offers a wonderful presentation and accurate analysis of the eternal problems between old and new generations, in an entertaining dialogue that combines seriousness and humor and captivates the viewer or reader. The first edition appeared in New York in 1917, and it quickly sold out and became difficult to obtain. But as soon as we released it in a new revised edition, demand for it intensified again. And here we are, releasing it today in its thirteenth edition, confident that we are offering readers not only the rich humanitarian sustenance they have come to expect from Naimy's later works, but also the first authentic theatrical work by an Arab pen.
