Description
Gnel Nalbandyan – Don't Be Afraid
The early 1990s: complex and contradictory realities in Yerevan and Artsakh. On one side, the noble idea of the liberation struggle; on the other, the chaos of war and personal gain. This is a story about complex and contradictory times, whose heroes and anti-heroes often have real prototypes, and whose episodes have documentary basis. In some episodes, the author reproduces events that happened to him on various sections of the Armenian-Azerbaijani front line. Unlike the usual order, this literary work was born after the filming of the well-known film of the same name. Some episodes presented in the book were not in the film, or some film episodes are not in the novella. It is structured according to the (5-part) film script, co-authored by Levon Galstyan and Gnel Nalbandyan. The screenwriters received active support from Alexan Harutyunyan, the author of the idea for the film "Don't Be Afraid," and director Aram Shahbazyan. Re-published two decades later, the novella invites readers to relive the decisive pages of our recent past with a sober perspective and the feeling of a direct participant.
