Preserving Armenia's rich literary tradition from a multitude of viewpoints has been the aim of this three-volume work.

This book covers the history of Armenia from the most ancient literate peoples of Mesopotamia, who had commercial interests in the land of Armenia (c. 2500 BC), to the end of the Middle Ages.

The first volume consists of essays on four major twentieth-century Armenian authors: Yeghishe ́Charents, Gurgen Mahari, Zabel Esayan, and Vahan Totovents.

Reprint of Baddeley's classic and rare account of the resistance of the North Caucasians under Shamil against the expansion of Tsarist Russia, with a new introduction by Moshe Gammer. Highly relevant to recent developments in the region.

A thematic discussion of the works of more than 150 poets, historians, monks, and others highlights the themes that captured the imagination of Armenian authors.--From publisher description.
