A Um Fio da Morte: Memórias de um sobrevivente do Genocídio Armênio by Hampartzoum Chitjian PT
ArmeniaDescription:
Os sobreviventes de um genocídio são pessoas comuns que viveram situações extraordinárias e por esse fato deixaram de ser comuns. A terrível experiência deve ser usada como um exemplo que impeça que atrocidades como essa voltem a ocorrer, especialmente quando o culpado segue impune e negando seu crime. É por isso que, nesses casos, nada deve impedir a recuperação da memória, já que, como nos disse Todorov, esse direito de recordar que tem os sobreviventes das violências do Estado se transformaram num dever: o de testemunhar.

I del cel van caure tres pomes by Narine Abgarian CA
Description:
L'Anatòlia és una dona abonyegada per les desgràcies que es refugia a la biblioteca del poble (amagant els llibres del comte Tolstoi, per qui professa un odi rotund); en Hovhannés es fuma el tabac de la seva collita enrotllant-lo amb el paper de la «premsa babaua» i de llibres vells, perquè no n'hi ha cap altre.

Maran és un món que sembla que té els dies comptats, però aviat ens adonarem que, en realitat, aquest poble perdut al cim de la humanitat, en un racó del Caucas, està empès per una energia immortal.
