The Hovhannes Tumanyan Home Museum will host on Sunday celebrations
dedicated to the 144th birth anniversary of great Armenian writer and
intellectual.
Director of the Museum Narine Tukhikyan said, speaking to our
correspondent, that this year too, they will continue their annual
tradition of collecting books for the border villages.
`Hovhannes Tumanyan's birthday is also declared as book-gifting day.
The library donates books to the border villages' libraries also from
its own resources. Besides, the quantity this time will depend on the
number of books to be brought by others for assistance,' she said.
Though the day will focus on Tumanyan's birthday, it is also planned
to hold a book presentation event given that the writer's name and
essence is associated with books, Tukhikyan added.
`We have published his ideas - extracts from articles, letters and
speeches - in Russian. Later this year, we are going to publish his
translations of the Brothers Grimm fairytales, Hansel and Gretel and
Red Hood, with lavish illustrations. It will be available in three
languages; German and French will supplement the Armenian version as
Tumanyan used those languages while translating the fairytales,' she
said, noting that this year marks the 100th anniversary of Tumanyan's
translation of Brothers' Grimm.
The books will also include comments on the fairytale symbols.
Tukhikyan promised that the anniversary events will make the museum a
lively and merry place for visitors. `From 11:00am until five the
museum will be pleased with every single visit. The active visitors
will not leave with empty-handed,' she said.
