Abstract
"I like hearing the big heart of cities and the cracking of the roaring fire that runs in their veins. I like feeling their life rhythm and the depth of their breathing" claimed Zarian in one of his writings. Zarian was a great urbanist, which is why he paid special attention to analyzing, appreciating and understanding the cities, and world urban centers he visited extensively.
Having said that, the author, Narine Petrossian argues that it is almost impossible to identify any writing of Zarian that touches solely upon the issue of the city and the urban center. In this regard, Petrossian highlights specifically the diaries of Zarian, where she claims it is almost impossible to separate the various philosophical, civilizational, cultural. literary and other categories from each other. They are all intertwined and reflect the broad world perspective Zarian lad and used to look at things.
On a thin backdrop of Osvald Schpengler's conceptualization of urban civilizations, the author draws a parallel with what Zarian had to write and think about a number of world urban centers and cities, like St. Petersburgh, New York, Venice, Rome. Naples, Athens, Izmir (Smyrna), Batumi, Nicosia, and Beirut, Constantinople and its streets, the cities of Holland (Volendam, Haarlem, Zaandam, Amsterdam); and the cities of Bulgaria, Romania, Austria, France, Belgium, And Armenia.
