The reader has a book in his hands, where the notes, poetry and other works of Literary ark festival’s participant–writers are included, dedicated to Armenia, Armenians and Armenian culture. To each of the authors Armenia is interesting in its own way: one is impressed by the nature, the other is surprised by Armenian character, and third one compares present–day Armenia with his country. But for all of them it is an ancient and magical country, with rich and respectable history. While editing the translations we’ve tried to leave them close to the original as far as possible, not obliging the own criteria and thinking of own artistic speech.
