Originally published in 1878 in the Armenian language by the prolific writer Raffi Jalaleddin follows the story of a young man with nothing to lose as he embarks on a journey through the valleys and peaks of the Eastern Anatolian Mountains to rediscover a treasure he lost long ago. Based on events that took place during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, this short yet vivid narrative intensely portrays the human spirit in all its capacity for love and hate, war and peace, civility and wildness, and destruction and self-sacrifice.
To our ancient Armenian gods! To Anahit, Vahakn, Hayk! I toast this glass to your sacred memory, save us.
Raffi, Jalaleddin
