ميخائيل نعيمة 1889 - 1988 مفكر عربي كبير وهو واحد من ذلك الجيل الذي قاد النهضة الفكرية والثقافية وأحدث اليقظة وقاد إلى التجديد واقتسمت له المكتبة العربية مكاناً كبيراً لما كتبه وما كتب حوله. فهو شاعر وقاص ومسرحي وناقد متفهم وكاتب مقال متبصر ومتفلسف في الحياة والنفس الانسانية وقد أهدى إلينا آثاره بالعربية والانجليزية والروسية وهي كتابات تشهد له بالامتياز وتحفظ له المنزلة السامية.

ميخائيل نعيمة ولد في بسكنتا في جبل صنّين في لبنان في شهر تشرين الأول من عام 1889 وأنهى دراسته المدرسية في مدرسة الجمعية الفلسطينية فيها، تبعها بخمس سنوات جامعية في بولتافيا الأوكرانية بين عامي 1905 و 1911 حيث تسنى له الاضطلاع على مؤلفات الأدب الروسي، ثم اكمل دراسة الحقوق في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية (منذ كانون الأول عام 1911) وحصل على الجنسية الأمريكية. انضم إلى الرابطة القلمية التي أسسها أدباء عرب في المهجر وكان نائبا لجبران خليل جبران فيها.

عاد إلى بسكنتا عام 1932 واتسع نشاطه الأدبي . لقب بناسك الشخروب، توفي عام 1988 عن عمر يناهز المئة سنة. وتعود جذور ميخائل نعيمه إلى بلدة النعيمة في محافظة اربد في المملكة الاردنية الهاشميه وهذا ما ذكره ميخائيل النعيمه في حوار مع الكاتب الاردني والمؤرخ روكس بن زائد العزيزي. ...more
