سانين

We know Al-Mazini as a great poet in his collections, and a distinguished writer in his novels and stories, and a skilled critic in his literary, critical, and social articles. And here he appears to us from a new window, it is the window of translation, through which he proved his grasp of the text, his mastery of language, and his skill in reaching the meaning in an impressive way, rarely matched by others. Al-Mazini managed to build that bridge linking language, thought, and emotion, a bridge that translators have always sought and aspired to. He proved that he is capable in this craft despite not practicing it professionally. With the sensitivity of a refined writer, all elements of creativity converged in his talent. Al-Mazini chose to translate the novel "Saneen," a remarkable novel by the Russian novelist "Arzibashev." "Arzibashev" is a novelist with a distinguished literary status, but he did not enjoy the same level of fame as other great Russian writers such as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. In "Saneen," Arzibashev draws on the philosophy of "Max Stirner," which is based on "individualist anarchism" that opposes conservative tendencies within societies. The protagonist of the novel is that man who embodies the pure mirror of nature, whose actions are in harmony with his natural environment, free from the constraints of the social environment governed by strict traditions and customs.
