The Armenian Model (The Epic Narrative of Franz Werfel and Armenian Identity)

Summary/Abstract: This essay analyses the novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh by Franz Werfel through the lens of rediscovering the Armenian identity, both individually and collectively. Does a people have the right, through its political (and religious) leaders, to decide to exterminate another people? This is the acute problem raised by Franz Werfel’s novel, which is simultaneously a political, sociological, psychohistorical, anthropological and ethical novel.
