Italian annotation of the book

Gli stranieri definiscono la nostra terra “Museo a cielo aperto”. Il presente volume è una guida singolare a questo museo che si divide in “quattro sale”: “Periodo antico”; “Medioevo e Cristianesimo”; “Natura e Costumi”; “Periodo più recente”. Le “meraviglie” qui raccolte, che superano il numero di ottanta, sono preziose per il lettore armeno. Forse è proprio questo il motivo che ha spinto l’editore a scegliere come titolo di questo volume il termine, in qualche modo , di “meraviglie”. E davvero siamo orgogliosi di queste “meraviglie”, con cui molti altri hanno saputo conquistarsi un posto di rispetto nel panorama culturale mondiale. Nel presente volume sono stati inseriti tesori che fanno parte inscindibile della storia del popolo armeno e che si trovano attualmente nel territorio dell’Armenia storica (la cattedrale della S. Croce di Aght‘amar; il canale di Semiramide; la cattedrale di Ani e così via)

French annotation of the book

Les étrangers appellent notre pays “Musée à la belle étoile”. Cette encyclopédie est un guide très particulier qui chemine dans les quatre “Salles” de ce musée: “Antiquité”, “Moyen âge et christianisme”, “Nature et mode de vie”, “Epoque moderne”. Les 80 “Merveilles” concentées dans ce volume préféré sont très chères au lecteur arménien. C’est pour cette cause, peut-être, que la Maison d’Edition a choisi elle-même un titre assez prétentieux – “Merveilles”. Mais il faut aussi prendre en considération que le peuple arménien est très fier de ses merveilles dont la plupart a trouvé dignement sa place dans la culture mondiale. Dans cette encyclopédie nous trouvons des valeurs qui sont toujours inséparables de l’histoire des Arméniens mais qui se trouvent actuellement dans le territoire historique de l’Arménie (la Cathédrale de la Sainte Croix d’Akhtamar, le canal de Sémiramis, le temple de la Mère Anie, le lac de Van etc) L’encyclopédie “Les merveilles de l’Arménie” est très chérie des lecteurs arméniens. Nous espérons qu’elle plaira non seulement à nos compatriotes de France mais aussi au lecteur français qui montre de l’intérêt pour l’Arménie et pour le peuple arménien.

The wonders of Armenia

illustrated encyclopaedia/ hardcover, laminated, 104 pages, 21 cm x 29 cm, 750 gm, price – 10000 dram.

Foreigners called our country ‘a museum in an open air.” This encyclopedia is a specific guide in four “saloons’ of that museum: “Ancient Period,” “Medieval Period, Christianity,” “Nature and Lifestyle,” and “Newest Period.” More than 80 “wonders” included here are dear to Armenian reader. Maybe, this is the reason that the publishing house has chosen a little pretentious word “wonders” as a title for the book. However, we are proud of those ‘wonders,” most part of them occupied their deserved place in the treasury of world culture. You can find values forming the inseparable part of the History of the Armenian People in the encyclopedia. They are situated in the territory of the Historical Armenia (Akhtamar Saint Cross Cathedral, The Brook of Shamiram, Ani Cathedral, etc).

This book is published in English, Armenian, French and Russian languages.
