Mark Vladimirovich Grigoryan's book is finally the kind of text about the city I've been wanting to read! It's not a heavy-handed scholarly work or a pseudo-patriotic ode. This biography of Yerevan is a book of atmosphere, a guidebook, a history book, a love story—and it was written by a true Yerevanian who adores his city and its people.

"Only about two weeks had passed since I was forced to leave Armenia in 2003 and found myself in the British capital. My colleagues from the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, where I was working at the time, gave me a book they thought would help me better understand London, its history and present, the traditions that live in its streets and neighborhoods... I learned to understand the city by reading it, and I got to know the British capital by wandering its streets and squares. The book, as you might have guessed, was called London: A Biography, and it was written by Peter Ackroyd. Of course, I'd really like for tourists, emigrants, and repatriates to also walk around Yerevan with my book. And, frankly, I'd be extremely proud of that." Mark Grigoryan
