Descrizione Armenia - Portraits of Survival and Hope
"Armenia: Portraits of Survival and Hope provides a moving testimony to the indomitable spirit and the character of the Armenian people. Both the text and the photos bespeak their courage and strength. This book will ennoble and inspire all who read it."David Ellenson, president of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion "Armenia: Portraits of Survival and Hope is an extraordinary journey into the traumatic condition the Republic of Armenia has endured during the past 15 years. Donald and Lorna Touryan Miller put before us, in an elegant and unsentimental way, the voices of Armenian citizens as they discuss their struggles with natural disaster, massacre, war, and the ensuing Turkish and Azeri blockade of their country. In the depth and texture of these voices, the Millers have captured the agony and the resilience of human being as they struggle to keep their ancient civilization alive in its new era. Every citizen of the planet will want to read this book." Peter Balakian, author of Black Dog of Fate
