Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
'Musa Dagh stood beyond the world. No storm would reach it, even if
one should break' It is 1915 and Gabriel has returned to his
childhood home, an Armenian village on the slopes of Musa Dagh. But
things are becoming increasingly dangerous for his people in
Turkey, and, as the government orders round-ups and deportations,
the villagers of Musa Dagh decide to fight back. The seminal novel
of the Armenian genocide, Franz Werfel's bestselling 1933 epic
brought the catastrophe to the world's attention for the first
time, and has become a talismanic story of resistance in the face
of hatred. 'Forty Days will invade your senses and keep the blood
pounding. Once read, it will never be forgotten' The New York Times
Translated by Geoffrey Dunlop and James Reidel
In October 1936, Leonidas - a director at Austria's Department of
Education - received a private letter in a woman's pale blue
handwriting. In it, Vera Wormser, a Jew with whom he had a love
affair years ago, asks him to protect a young talented man who has
to leave Germany for the usual and known reasons. With this news, a
world collapses for Leonidas, whose complete sovereignty was
recognized only formally by Nazi Germany."
