Մեծապատիվ մուրացկաններ (The Honorable Beggars)

Rate this book
Hagop Baronian (1843–1891) was an influential Ottoman Armenian writer, satirist, educator, and social figure in the 19th century. Born in Edirne, Baronian is widely acknowledged as the greatest Armenian satirist of all time, closely followed by Yervant Odian. Baronian's most famous work was the book Medzabadiv Muratsganner ("Honorable Beggars"), which parodies the almost beggar-like state of writers and publishers in that period. Baronian was also known for his biting, sarcastic criticisms of leading figures in the Armenian social circles of Istanbul; some of these critical comments appear in his book Azkayin Chocher ("National Bigshots"). Unfortunately, he himself suffered the same fate as the characters in Medzabadiv Mouratsganner , and died penniless on the streets of Istanbul. He was buried in an Armenian cemetery in Istanbul, but the precise location of his grave has been lost. (wikipedia.org)

Ուժեղ էր։ Պարոնյանի սուր հումորի զգացումն ինձ շատ դուր եկավ: Ցավոք սրտի՝ գրքում քննարկված խնդիրներն իրենց արդիականությունը չեն կորցրել: Չնայած դրանց ծանրակշռությանը շա՜տ ծիծաղել եմ: Իրոք արժեր կարդալ:
