July 07, 2006
"Under the Apricot Trees," a new book by author Ruben Hovsepian has
been published in Yerevan by the ART Publishing House.
Fortunately enough, Hovsepian, who is also a National Assembly member,
finds time to serve his main call and puts a valuable book on the
table of readers.
"Crossing the city bridge, ignoring the devil under the bridge,
Avetik crossed himself, looking at the St. Sargis Church sitting
over the Hrazdan Gorge, where many panhandlers have been gathered
along with venders, whose candles blackened the church," this is how
the novel begins. It ends with a grandfather and his son engaging in
mature dialogue. Between those two events lays our life, our victories
and losses.
A human being - an Armenian--between the skies turned gray from
low-quality candles and bombarded soil is the main character of the
novel. A successful documenting of the time we have lived follows by
the time we still have to live, our future and the future of the world.
The book acquires an additional charm by the illustrations made by
the writer 's daughter, artist Moni Hovsepian.
