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.
The Final Departure: Julian Barnes and the Architecture of the Last Word
By Ilija Šaula
Lately, the name Julian Barnes has been surfacing in the media with unusual frequency, sparking a mix of celebration and quiet concern. This sudden surge in attention—marking his 80th birthday and the release of what he calls his final book—caught my attention and prompted a deeper reflection.
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.
Reuben Wilco, who worked as a curator at Nashville’s Time-Travel Museum, ...
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.

WHY DOES THIS KNOT ON MY HEAD HURT SO MUCH
By Aleksandra Djordjevic
The first time we disagreed, my husband said, “Well, that’s pure nonsense!” There are certainly many gentler, subtler, and more tactful ways to disagree, but this one is among the most direct.
Did I love him more at that moment?

DIALOGUE WITH THE AUTHOR

When I open a book, it feels as though I am unlocking the door to a hidden room. I am not afraid of meeting the shadows of the past, because I know the author is waiting there, alive, present, ready to speak. His words ignite my curiosity, and in that moment, I feel the need for dialogue: a ...

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.

So, I’ll simply say this –
Madness – The Highest Form of Reason

Let Us Return a Voice to a World That Is Losing It
By Ilija Saula
In an era that celebrates superficiality, where clicks and virality measure the world, one quiet question pierces through the noise: Is there still space for thought? For freedom? For a truth not bartered away in the clearance sale of attention.

About God, Abortion, and Other Plagues
By Aleksandra Djordjevic
Lately, I have read a multitude of left-leaning texts; not in search of confirmation, but precisely because I see myself on the right side of the spectrum. I believe that in life we must place a weight on the other end of the seesaw, one we did not carry from home.
