On the monument to Franz Werfel in Vienna is a text that says "In gratitude and respect, the Armenian people". Werfel's novel "The Fourthy Days of Musa Dagh" about the Armenian Genocide was a scandal for the turks and balsam for the armenians. . The story follows the main character Gabriel Bagradian, the head of the armenian group that fled from the turkish government. The power of 5'000 people on a mountain, defending themselves. Fates and changes in the people. This had some truly heartbreaking moments in it, because you come close to the characters and even if not, so much horrendous harm happens. The life of Gabriel's son Stephan and it's ending shaked me, made me feel a taste of the terror. . Werfel is such an underrated, intelligent writer. The book is really huge, but so well structured and researched, so emotionally, thrilling and humane. This book was a home for me. About another historic event that should never happen again. . #franzwerfel #werfel #dievierzigtagedesmusadagh #thefortydaysofmusadagh #1933 #musadagh #literature #bookstagram #igreads #armeniangenocide #turkey #armenian #guyswhoread #gayswhoread #instagood #beautiful #leseempfehlung #anacondaverlag #musadagh #литература #букстаграм #францверфель #сорокднеймусадага #книги #геноцидармян https://www.instagram.com/p/B8UHjxugQ5r/?igshid=miupds2l8hrj
