The national novel "Salbi" by Raffi is a cornerstone of 19th-century Armenian realistic literature. Set in the mid-1800s in the Atropatene province of Persia, the story vividly depicts the life of Persian Armenians, their patriarchal traditions, and deep-seated superstitions. It explores universal themes of love, the quest for freedom, and the struggle against ignorance.
