Hanna Mina was a Syrian novelist, described in Literature from the "Axis of Evil" as the country's "most prominent".
His early novels belong to the movement of social realism, and focus on class conflict; his later works contain "a more symbolic analysis of class differences". His writing on the suffering of ordinary people was partly inspired by his own experiences, alternately working as a stevedore, barber, and journalist; his autobiographical short story, "On the Sacks", was published in 1976.
Several of his works are set during the period of the French Mandate of Syria, or in the period immediately following independence.
Mina has authored about 40 novels, varying in imaginary value and narrative significance. But his achievement lies in the foundation he laid for this literary structure. For his collective works and novels, Mina was awarded the Arab Writer's Prize in 2005.
