Publisher's Synopsis
An Armenian Princess: A Tale Of Anatolian Peasant Life is a novel written by Edgar James Banks and published in 1914. The story is set in Anatolia, a region in modern-day Turkey, and follows the life of an Armenian princess named Mariam who is forced to flee her home during the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Mariam is taken in by a peasant family who are struggling to survive in the harsh conditions of rural Anatolia. The novel explores the themes of love, loss, and survival in the face of extreme adversity. Banks was a historian and archaeologist who spent much of his life studying ancient civilizations, and his knowledge of the region and its history is evident in the vivid descriptions of the landscape and culture of Anatolia. An Armenian Princess is a powerful and moving work of historical fiction that offers a glimpse into a little-known chapter of the Armenian Genocide.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
