This volume includes the literary and journalistic reflections, editorials, and thoughts of Shavarsh Misakian (Zimara village, Sebastia Province, 1884–1957, Paris), the founding editor of the Paris daily Haraj and a distinguished publicist. The collection features not only writings from the years when he headed the editorial office of Haraj (1925–1957), but also works from his pre-Genocide journalism.

Diasporan Armenian journalism is unimaginable without the nearly half-century of fruitful, meaningful, and highly nation-preserving activity of Shavarsh Misakian. Yet, as indispensable as his contribution is, it remains equally unfamiliar to readership circles in Armenia—and beyond.
