Description
Book SynopsisDespite the great geographical gulf that separates them, Armenia and Europe have maintained links for many centuries - at least since the late Middle Ages when the King of Armenia travelled to London to try and reconcile the warring kingdoms of England and France. Since then, diverse travellers have written perceptively and affectionately of that far off, beautiful land and of a people who have shown great inner tenacity in the face of a difficult history. This anthology brings together the best writing on Armenia - accounts by travel writers, historians, soldiers, poets, painters and politicians. Each section is annotated and placed in context. The result is a lively and colourful picture of a resilient and resourceful people.
Trade Review'No matter how much an Armenian thinks that he knows of his history, he is certain to learn even more than he thought possible. Visions of Ararat should join his other two books on every Armenians' bookshelf' -- Andrew Kevorkian, The Armenian Reporter, 16th July 2006
