Description
Armenia, the country where everything is possible; the country that, like the eternal Noah’s Ark, shelters from human storms and from other, varied species of its ancient culture. There you live with an extravagant history in which Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Turks and Russians have wanted to take the helm. Being an Armenian means being a survivor: wars, invasions, earthquakes, massacres and a terrifying genocide that took a million and a half lives, according to their accounts.
This book talks about impossible stories, but true. Characters who raise the country today with much love and better humor. Virginia Mendoza enters their homes and shares a table with some of the last survivors of that genocide, she visits the Yazidis who worship Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel, or the Molokan Christians, who drink milk; talk to the widow of the builder of an underground temple to save humanity from the fire; she introduces us to Khachaturian’s honorees and the granddaughter of a slave. Wise voices, sometimes full of melancholy, but always hopeful.
