Description
Yeghishe Charents “Land of Nairi” is dedicated to the author’s hometown, Kars, where he spent his adolescence. After the city’s decline, Charents wrote about its final years, portraying Kars as a symbol of loss. The text intertwines the comic and the tragic against political and historical circumstances. During and after World War I, the city is depicted as a stage for clashes between Eastern and Western, conservative and liberal ideas.
“Land of Nairi” was published four times during Charents’ lifetime and posthumously re-edited twice, with numerous reprints. In this edition, the novel appears for the first time in the author’s final edited version, reviewed against previous editions and accompanied by the most extensive annotations.
