The Bois de Vincennes
The Bois de Vincennes is a personification of a park that tells the history of an entire people, depicting love, frustration, war, sometimes antiquated views of women, and philosophical musings. It is a complex attempt to understand the remarkable and tragic history of Armenians in the twentieth century, a book in which trees become murderers and saints, and where world history and personal history become one. Originally published in 1947 in the Armenian language, this is the first English translation.
