Title: THE FOLKTALES OF MUSA DAGH (With illustrations by Lucy Tutunjian; In Armenian)
Date of publication: 1973
Hamazkaine Publications, Beirut
Synopsis
This volume is a collection of 100 folktales based on the oral tradition of the Armenian villages of Musa Dagh on the coastal mountains of southwestern Turkey, with an introduction about the people, their land, as well as the themes of the folktales and their role in the everyday life of the villagers.
The tales are divided according to their themes into fantastic, moralistic, humorous genres, those demonstrating the all-important characteristic of resourcefulness as well as fables and anecdotal tales about real-life Musa Dagh villagers and their antics.
This volume is a worthy effort of preserving the centuries old folk tradition from the ravages of displacement and oblivion. The book has remained on the essential reading list for Armenian schools in Lebanon and is in dire need of being republished.
