Վերք Հայաստանի
Խաչատուր Աբովյան · 1858 · Ռոմանտիզմ
Armenia, 1820s. Under Persian rule, the people of the Ararat valley endure humiliation and violence, until a young villager named Aghasi refuses to bow. When the violence reaches his own home and the girl he loves, his defiance turns into rebellion, and the struggle of one man merges with the Russo-Persian war that will decide the fate of Eastern Armenia.
Written in the living spoken language of the people rather than in classical Armenian, Abovyan's novel was a revolution in itself. Passionate, angry, and full of grief, "Wounds of Armenia" is often called the first modern Armenian novel — the book that taught Armenian literature to speak in the voice of ordinary people.
