Armenia is a country you can't help but fall in love with. It's not just about delicious shashlik, views of Mount Ararat in Yerevan, delicious cognac, wine, mountains, Lake Sevan, and the famous Armenian hospitality. This book is about a small but proud country that has endured many upheavals throughout its history, but whose people have only grown stronger.
In this book, Lyudmila Yakovleva—a blogger, traveler, Aviasales ambassador, and travel agency founder—invites you on a fascinating journey through her adopted homeland. She once left a successful legal career in Moscow and began a new life in Yerevan. Today, she knows Armenia as only locals see it.
This is not a travel guide or a dry historical reference. It is a lively, warm, and honest book about the people, traditions, habits, and character of Armenia. It tells how people love, work, raise children, welcome guests, and maintain dignity in any circumstances. "Armenia from Within" is an opportunity to see the country from a local's perspective and feel its heart.
In this book, you'll learn:
- Why roots are so important to Armenians and what history has to do with it.
- How Armenians view marriage and why children are practically a religion here.
- What does it mean to "love a guest the Armenian way."
- Why lavash is a must-have for Armenians.
- How Mount Ararat became a symbol of the country and why it was confined to the outside world.
- Is it true that all local men are amorous, and should you believe everything they say?
