Armenien - Land am Ararat

Deluge, genocide, Radio Yerevan – these are just three terms that may come to mind when discussing Armenia. Gisela Ramming-Leupold traces the footsteps of Armenia's millennia-old history, from its beginnings during the times of the Hittites and Parthians, through the arrival of the first Christians in the country, to the genocide at the beginning of the 20th century and into the present day. She explores, through words and images, particularly the history of Armenian Christianity, visits its most important sites with the readers, and presents unique features of the country, such as the khachkars (cross-stones). In doing so, she brings readers closer to a largely unknown, exotic world that is worth discovering.
