Explore the frontiers of thought
Welcome to a space where literature is not merely read but lived.
Here, ideas do not end with a period —
they continue in conversation, in creation,
in that invisible place between the writer and the reader.
This is a home for essays, dreams, fragments, poetry
for everything that seeks form and meaning.
And if you feel called to join in, you are welcome —
because literature exists only when it is shared.
Contemporary Literature & Inner Worlds
Our primary sphere of influence is contemporary prose — a space where the inner world can be explored with depth, clarity, and emotional truth. Midar creates a quiet field for this exploration, offering writers and readers a place to descend beneath the surface of modern life. We believe that literature remains the most powerful medium for revealing what moves within us: the subtle shifts of consciousness, the hidden tensions, the search for an authentic center. Through stories, essays, and hybrid forms, we seek works that illuminate the inner landscape and invite the reader to return to their own stillness. For us, literature is not an escape. It is a way of entering the self.
Existential Loneliness
Today, by pure chance, I spent a few seconds witnessing a couple's therapy session. Facebook suggested it, and since we live in a voyeuristic society, boundaries no longer seem to exist, even though boundaries are all we ever hear about. In truth, there are no boundaries for cameras and exposure; what remains is exclusion through cancel culture.
THE INNER LINE
Some words do not merely describe the world; they guide it. And there are moments when a person begins to sense that the language they speak is not only a means of expression but also a framework within which thought becomes accustomed to certain boundaries. Then historical concepts, once burdened with the weight of lived experience, gradually turn into terms used without resistance, as though time itself had removed their consequences.
ODE TO THE BEES
By Ilija Šaula
My dear bees, workers of light, guardians of order in a world that so often forgets it — today I speak to you as a man who watched your flight for many years, yet only recently began to understand your meaning. I do not speak to you as a master, nor as one who knows more. I speak to you as a student who has finally realized that the deepest lessons are hidden within the smallest beings.
Disavowing the Writer
By Aleksandra Djordjevic
What is a writer? Is it anyone who has something to say to the world? Someone who possesses the means to shape a thought and express it uncommonly? Or perhaps the one whose works have been published and awarded?
The Book as a Site of Expansion and Metamorphosis of Reality
By Milena Blagojevic
The book stands as one of the most beautiful and precious monuments in the history of humankind, reaching back to the dawn of literacy. Rooted in the word—the embodiment of language, or logos, which lies at the core of the world’s creation—it transcends both time and matter. Language surpasses the world and man alike, dwelling in an eternal present, while the world exists within time, in a state of continuous change.
Otherworldly evening
By Gordana Pešaković
In the air are hints of summer and ease, with the anticipation of the last symphony concert of the season.
Next to the library, several people of more modest means in conversations and with music. A woman with lively, curious eyes and a voice which echoes with experience
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE UNINITIATED
By Ljubica Zikic
The contemporary American writer Irvin D. Yalom has written novels inspired by the lives of well‑known philosophers (Nietzsche, Spinoza, Schopenhauer), so his books naturally carry a philosophical tone. I read When Nietzsche Wept, The Spinoza Problem, and The Schopenhauer Cure with great pleasure, because as I read, I kept recognizing attitudes toward life that I myself hold, to a greater or lesser degree. From experience,
MELANCHOLY OF MACHINES
By Divna Vuksanović
Translated by Katarina Šmakić
The Ancient Greek word melancholia ("black bile") was first used by Hippocrates to denote one of the four types of temperaments classified according to the predominant bodily fluid in an individual.
A MODEL OF GENIUS: THE POLISH CASE
By Ilija Šaula
There exists within European literature a quiet paradox: the closer a nation has come to disappearance, the closer its language has come to eternity. It is within this paradox that Polish poetry is formed—not as an aesthetic choice, but as an ontological necessity.
From Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki, to Czesław Miłosz and Wisława Szymborska, the poet in Poland has never been merely an individual. He or she has been a point of intersection—where history and conscience, language and silence,
PAIN
By Ilija Saula
Life is relentless toward us, just as love is relentless toward it. Experience is an artist — a painter and a sculptor — shaping and revealing every form of life in its true light and expression. Experience is an inheritance no one puts in a will, though it should stand at the very top.
Franz Kafka
By Ilija Saula
Franz Kafka occupies a place in European literature that cannot be reduced to biography, historical context, or literary movement. His name has become a metaphor—almost a self-contained category of thought, a word that evokes a condition, an atmosphere, an inner landscape of an era. Few writers have turned their surname into an adjective, and even fewer are read as prophecy: a mirror held up to what is still arriving. Kafka is one of them. His prose is not only literature; it is a way of seeing reality from the inside.

MAYBE HUMANITY WILL REMEMBER ITSELF
By Ilija Šaula
As I think about the future awaiting our descendants, I wonder what the world will look like five hundred years from now. Not because I wish to play the prophet, but because I feel the same curiosity our ancestors must have felt when they gazed into the unknown. From their hills and shores, they sensed new worlds ahead, just as we today sense a world that will be born from our own time.

THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH
By Goran Skrobonja
No one had any clue whatsoever as to why all the time travelers were arriving in Nashville. But that's what was happening. And it was happening to such an extent that one of the old buildings in this city – the "Athens of the South”, “Music City", “Time-Travel Town” – was converted into a museum of time travel.

WHY DOES THIS KNOT ON MY HEAD HURT SO MUCH

THE LANGUAGE OF MONEY
By Aleksandra Djordjevic
I was on the bus, on my way to my first job interview, when forty euros were stolen from me. Even today I cannot shake off the feeling of disorientation whenever I misplace a banknote, and I feel most at ease when small, tidy sums rest close to my heart.

Let Us Return a Voice to a World That Is Losing It

Midar: The Architecture of Influence and the Literary Vertical of Consciousness
In today’s intellectual landscape, where influence is often measured by superficial echoes and the speed of information flow, the concept of Midar emerges as a quiet revolution within the literary sphere. It is no longer merely a name or a symbol; it becomes a distinct point of view, a perspective that refuses to see literature as entertainment, but as a space where true, essential influence on the human soul is created.
