Կորսուած տառը [Armenian]

By Shogher Markarian

Gorsevadz Dare is a fantasy adventure for readers aged 9 to 99 years old. It's the story of a school-aged boy destined to find the lost letter of the Armenian alphabet. His mission takes him all around the world, where he meets unique characters, such as the woman who solved all problems with rose petal jam, or the shoemaker who could tell one's character by looking at their shoes.

Subtle humour is present throughout the story, making it a pleasant read. The book is dotted with songs and poems by Armenian writers. The reader will reflect about the quirkiness of being Armenian, such as predicting the future in coffee cups, or meeting a unibrowed cousin. The cement that holds the book together is of course the Armenian language, with its local sounds & unique tournures. The language is at a youth-friendly level, and the fonts are large for easy reading. Each chapter comes with a glossary of terms and their English translation.
