Семь песен об Армении

The book of journalistic prose by the laureate of the State Prizes of the USSR Gevorg Emin has gone through a number of reprints and has truly become the property of a multi-million readership in our country and abroad. Ilya Ehrenburg called "Seven Songs about Armenia" "a golden key to understanding the history of this people and this country." With the scrupulousness of a historian and chronicler, with the passion of a true poet-citizen, G. Emin leads an inspired story about the historical destinies of his people, who, like the Phoenix bird, rose from the ashes and inscribed on the state emblem of his free republic the sun, vine, hammer and sickle - eternal symbols of the peaceful labor of the sons of the earth. “Seven Songs about Armenia” is a poetic tale about Armenia, its past and present. About a country that has suffered from wars and invasions for centuries. About a country that, throwing off the stone of centuries of suffering, crushed it to build its new happy home. About a country whose mountain rivers have been cloudy for centuries from rage and grief, and only now give birth to light. About a country whose land has been irrigated with bitter sweat and blood for centuries, and only now gives back to man the accumulated sweetness. About a country born of fire, which for centuries was devoured by the flames of wars and only now is warmed by the fires of factories and a domain. About the country of ancient manuscripts. About a country whose songs lost in the mountains are now heard for all peoples and countries.
