In The New Sieve

Mikhail Naimy

A book brimming with the opinions of the great writer Mikhail Naimy on masterpieces of world literature and the works of many of our contemporary writers and thinkers. Just as "The Sieve" played an active role in directing literature and criticism towards a pioneering humanistic path in its time, so too does "The New Sieve," which is the essence of Naimy's intellectual and literary experiences. It sheds brilliant light on the current literary scene and opens up vast horizons and new paths, depicting it as "...an artistic painting that has reached the utmost simplicity in its lines and colors. Yet, there is no end to the beauty it evokes, and to the profound feelings and reflections it stirs. Its frame, however, is almost boundless. It is a symphony in which the melodies of a lifetime..." full of experiences between earth and sky, always trying to lead the writer, as well as the reader, to transcend the duality between the two worlds.
