A new book by Narine Abgaryan, author of the renowned autobiographical stories "Manyunya" and "People Who Are Always with Me." Her heroes are simple and therefore real people who know where happiness lies.
31 stories about war. A book about those who survived the war. And those who didn't. "Writing about war is like destroying hope within yourself. Like staring death in the face, trying not to look away. Because if you look away, you'll betray yourself. I tried my best. I'm not sure I succeeded. Life is fairer than death; therein lies its invincible truth. You must believe in this in order to live." Manyunya's birthplace is the Armenian border town of Berd, where she spent her childhood. This cozy town retains its charm: old rural houses, summer verandas, and gardens. The residents still make kavurma, collect honey, bake bread, weave carpets, and raise children. Almost everyone lost a loved one during the war. However, they believe that life is fairer than death, and while they have the strength, they should help everyone who needs it more than themselves. Proud, free, simple, and kind people who know how to be happy throughout their lives…
