| Description: | Based on events that took place in 1915 during the second year of the First World War and at the beginning of the Armenian genocide, the novel focuses on a small community of Armenians living near Musa Dagh, a mountain in Vilayet of Aleppo in the Ottoman Empire that defended themselves there. Events in Constantinople and provincial capitals, where the Committee of Union and Progress Young Turk government orchestrated the deportations, concentration camps and massacres of the empire’s Armenian citizens are also part of the book.
This translation by Geoffrey Dunlop omitted scenes of violence and rape that Dunlop believed would cause anxiety in readers in the United States and the United Kingdom and descriptions of the culture and society of the Armenians.—Wikipedia [Suggest a different description.] |
