The Forty Days of Musa Dagh
The Forty Days of Musa Dagh | Franz Werfel
5 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
The book that first drew America's attention to the Armenian Genocide, which began 100 years ago on April 24, 1915. The Forty Days of Musa Dagh is Franz Werfel's masterpiece, bringing him international acclaim and a BOMC Main Selection. First published in 1933, the chilling and riveting story takes place along the Anatolian coast in the mountain villages that chose to disobey the deportation order of the Turkish government, fearlessly repelling Turkish soldiers and police throughout the summer of 1915. Most significantly, it is the first book to deal seriously with "ethnic cleansing," an early clarion call that some heard but few heeded. This edition presents the first full English translation, with an introduction by Vartan Gregorian. In every sense, a true and thrilling novel.--The New York Times Book Review

Armenia was always a mystery to me. When I saw this title and read the blurb, I bought. Armenians were very badly treated by the Turks, to say the least...

Spent the day putting up Christmas decorations and got this amazing book in the mail today. I think I may tackle this one at the beginning of the year.

MrBook A multi-year project? 😂👏🏻 That is awesome! 8y
My_novel_obsession @MrBook Well after calculating the size of the book and the number of other books that I currently have said I want to read next, I am fairly confident I can get this one done by February 8y

This is one of my favorite novels -- and this is the first edition my lovely bride gave me one Christmas. I post it today because I am thinking of the latest roundup of journalists in Turkey and the demise of free speech.

cathysaid 😡 And of course the story is getting very little coverage. So frustrating. 8y
