Arpa Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 As always, I did not understand a word from the above.Why did Anahit Charents cause the confiscation of the book? Is it a matter or copyright, or that there may have been some embarassing facts of Yeghishe's life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosJan Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 - ALMA to host lecture on Charents bookALMA to host lecture on Charents bookMay 25, 2012 - 11:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - In Commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the First Printed Armenian Book, Dr. James Russell, Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies at Harvard University, will give a lecture at Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) on May 31. The lecture to be presented is titled “Charent's Book of the Way: Text and Icon of a Soviet Armenian Apocalypse.” "The Book of the Way (Girk' Chanaparhi) was the last book of Yeghishe Charents, his greatest, and a book that was burnt and became dangerous to own. It is also the most extraordinary work of graphic art in modern Armenian: Hakob Kojoyan and the poet collaborated closely on the design, which encodes an extraordinary message of transformation and apocalypse that is in plain sight, but has perhaps not been deciphered hitherto." Dr. Russell says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosJan Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 "His last collection of poems, "The Book of The Way", was printed in 1933, but its distribution was delayed by the Soviet government until 1934, when it was reissued with some revisions. In this book the authors lays out the panorama of Armenian history and reviews it part-by-part" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeghishe_Charents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Kiffer Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Maybe the political aspects of the work had to be censured. What they called in France "communards' is a scornful way to point out the communists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
