“In every sense a true and thrilling novel.”–New York Times Book Review
The heroic story of resistance during the Armenian genocide. When the Turkish government ordered the deportation of Armenians, several villages in the mountains chose not to obey. Instead, they fortified a plateau on the slopes of Musa Dagh and repelled Turkish soldiers and military police during the summer of 1915 while holding out hope that the warships of the Allies would save them. An international bestseller when first published in 1933, and the first novel in modern times to capture genocide by a state, Franz Werfel’s masterpiece brought the world’s attention to this devastating crime against humanity and the Armenian people.Author: Franz Werfel
