Simon Simonian : The Last Scion Of The Mountaineers

Amidst war and destruction in Aleppo, Levon Sharoyan wrote a very personal monograph about the eminent man of letters, Simon Simonian (1914-1986). He published it in installments first on his Facebook page, later on in a more expanded version in "Kantsasar" Weekly, the official newsletter of the Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Aleppo, and also almost simultaneously, in "Aztag" Daily in Lebanon and in "Nor Haratch", a tri-weekly, in Paris. Sharoyan's monograph was his tribute to his elder compatriot. His grandfather, much like Simon Simonian's father, hailed from Sassoun, a mountainous region in Western Armenia, and was depicted among the stories Simon Simonian wrote about the struggles of the Sassountsi mountaineers on the plains of Aleppo, in Syria, far from their native mountain top villages. The monograph, which since then has been published as a book in Armenia, made for a fascinating reading. This is the first book in English about the eminent man of letters, the late Simon Simonian.
