Mr. Jamil Beyhum

The researcher and historian Mr. Jamil Beyhum has returned to Beirut to resume his literary activity. The journey began at the first of last September with a visit to Europe, then to Russia — Leningrad, and Baku in Azerbaijan — at the invitation of the cultural institution in Moscow, to study conditions there: something that helps the great historian and gives him a sound idea of matters that have remained obscure in the heads of many.

Mr. Beyhum now has in hand three books which he will shortly be sending to the presses.

After his visit to Moscow, Mr. Beyhum was invited to Peking to attend the second anniversary of the people's revolution; he toured throughout China as far as Shanghai, and admired the marks of the social and artistic renaissance prevailing throughout China generally... He considered this long journey of his a precious study, and the greatest aid to him in completing his works.
