| dc.description.abstract | The article highlights aspects of the uneasy life and unconventional writings of Gosdan Zarian, one of the great names of Armenian literature. Zarian, who wrote in Armenian, Russian, French, Italian, and English, is one of the rare authors in Armenian culture who wrote in almost all literary genres. He wrote extensively on world-famous thinkers and cultural figures as well as about diverse fields of art, including theater, cinema, painting, music, and sculpture. His complicated and conflicting views almost always made him an unaccepted figure to his literary opponents as well as his friends. This is why he was considered at times an author who created unnecessary pandemonium and at times as a radiant and marvelous author. Zarian’s literary work expressed the life, spiritual struggle, and destiny of both Armenia and Diaspora Armenians. In a broader sense, his work reflected the deep quest for free Armenian and free Armenia. Many of his literary pages are of irreplaceable artistic documentary value. They are very modern and sound very contemporary. Equally valuables are the issues and concerns raised in the Mehian (1914) and Partsravank (1922) as well as La Tour de Babel (1925) and the Armenian Quarterly (1946), magazines all founded and edited by him. He described his life as a fire burning in a wind. He lived his life with the ideology that everything is born out of struggle. Zarian was one of the founders of Armenian critical prose. He looked for life when all around him was darkness. He looked for happiness when all around him was agony and anguish. The very core of Zarian’s literature is the unveiling of the spiritual richness of the Armenian individual. He was very practical and exalted in his expressions, which were uttered during both painful and epic events of the stormy history of Armenia. The characters of Zarian are singled out by their intense and defiant personalities, they are not reconciled and do not forgive life’s negative aspect, yet at the same time they dream and believe. His characters are not merely concerned with national topics. Zarian often examines pan-human issues, discuss facts related to human beings and nations, and is concerned with liberty and justice. Zarian’s literature chimed with and confirmed the Armenian voice in the culture. | |
