FICTION<br />

“A very fine, powerfully written story...a novel<br />

full of the breath, the flesh and blood and bone<br />

and spirit of life.” — Saturday Review<br />

It is 1915, the Great War is raging. The Turks<br />

have begun a systematic policy of extermination<br />

against their Christian subjects, the Armenians.<br />

One man, knowing what must come, leads<br />

5 ,0 0 0 villagers to the mountain Musa Dagh to<br />

fight and resist the onslaught. Here they begin<br />

tne forty days of Musa Dagh, the epic, heroic<br />

struggle of a courageous people defending<br />

themselves against almost certain death.<br />

This is their history.<br />

“Unlike most other important novels, ‘Musa<br />

Dagh’ is richest in story...it gives us a lasting<br />

sense of participation in a stirring episode of<br />

history.. .a story of men accepting the fate of<br />

h eros...a story which must rouse the emotions<br />

of all human beings...Magnificent.”<br />
