New e-book: Call of Plowmen, Khachik Dashtents

Set in Mush, Sasun, and other regions of Western Armenia from the late nineteenth century through the first decades of the twentieth, the narrative follows Makhluto’s recollections of Armenian village life and the rise of the fedayi movement against Ottoman oppression. Historical figures and oral traditions are woven into a restrained account of homeland, comradeship, loss, resistance, and the preservation of collective memory.
