‘Musa Dagh stood beyond the world. No storm would reach it, even if one should break’It is 1915 and Gabriel has returned to his childhood home, an Armenian village on the slopes of Musa Dagh.

| About The Author | Franz Werfel (born 1890) was already a successful writer when in 1933 he published The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, inspired by the desperate plight of Armenian children he had seen working in a Syrian carpet factory. A bestseller and Werfel's masterpiece, the book brought the Armenian genocide to the world's attention for the first time but was burned by the Nazis. Werfel, an Austrian Jew, was forced to flee Europe, narrowly escaping with his life. He died in Los Angeles in 1945. |
Forty Days will invade your senses and keep the blood pounding. Once read, it will never be forgotten | |
| Other text | In every sense a true and thrilling novel… It tells a story which it is almost one's duty as an intelligent human being to read. And one's duty here becomes one's pleasure also |
