The Rebels of Musa Dagh
by Fulvia degli Innocenti
Description
Narek is fourteen years old and studies with brilliant profit in Antioch. For him, a son of peasants, the hope of a different future is possible. When, for no apparent reason, he is marginalized and then expelled from school he begins to understand. His fault? Be Armenian. We are in Turkey, in 1915. One of the most frightening genocides in history is about to begin.
We witness the story of Narek, the days of resistance on Mount Musa Dagh, the crescendo of fear, the spirit of rebellion, the love for his Armenian identity, and the desire to live and enjoy small things, despite everything. Nereck, with his family, manages to save himself. He will become a refugee.
Between 1915 and 1916, one and a half million Armenians were killed in Turkey. More than a hundred years after the massacre, Turkey still rejects the definition of genocide.
This book is a small contribution so that no one forgets.
