Axel Bakunts\u2019 short story collection “Alpine Violet” includes the story cycles “Mtnadzor” and “Sev Tseleri Sermnatsany”. Bakunts\u2019 prose is a celebration of the Armenian language, presenting its full richness side by side. The writer masterfully created a distinctive style, with structures positively diverging from conventional narrative norms. His literature is characterized by lyricism and poetic qualities. The protagonists of the stories are rural people, who live by their own reality and rules, separate from the ways of the wider world. Bakunts is the painter of these people, whose canvas is truly rich, whose eye is observant, whose language is cultivated, and whose emotions are deeply felt. <\/p>\n
