Synopsis
''Musa Dagh stood beyond the world. No storm would reach it, even if one should break''
It is 1915 and Gabriel has returned to his childhood home, an Armenian village on the slopes of Musa Dagh. But things are becoming increasingly dangerous for his people in Turkey, and, as the government orders round-ups and deportations, the villagers of Musa Dagh decide to fight back. The seminal novel of the Armenian genocide, Franz Werfel''s bestselling 1933 epic brought the catastrophe to the world''s attention for the first time, and has become a talismanic story of resistance in the face of hatred.
''Forty Days will invade your senses and keep the blood pounding. Once read, it will never be forgotten'' The New York Times
Translated by Geoffrey Dunlop and James Reidel

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The seminal novel about the Armenian genocide and one village's resistance - an enthralling, crackling epicFranz Werfel's masterpiece tells the true story of the inhabitants of six Armenian villages on the mountain of Musa Dagh, who choose to defy the deportation order of the Turkish government and are subsequently besieged on the mountainside. Told through the eyes of Gabriel Bagradian, a cosmopolitan Armenian who has returned to his home village with his French wife and son after years living in Europe, the novel is a rich and dramatic epic that powerfully argues for the value of resistance even in impossible circumstances.
