He was born just before the beginning of this century, in the Christian community of Transcaucasia. Transcaucasia &#8211; the mere sound of its name is like music and, for yhose who have never been there, it evokes a beautifuk, fabulous and mythical land. But the armenian community living there, like so many ancient and rich cultures, was to be swept aside by &#8216;the black Tide of Modern Society&#8217;, as the historian A.Guchon calls it.  For the 19th century gave birth to the 20th in a series of violent jolts as the Ottoman and Russian empires clashed in the age-old dispute over their frontiers and, caught in the middle of the conflict, the Armenian nation was repeatedly massacred and, finaly dispersed all over the world. The author witnessed these momentous events from a very young age. Ho too joined the armenian diaspora and then, through a series of extraordinary events, was flung from Europ back into the wilds of Siberia, by a new and even more violent hurricane which swept the Western world in the first part of the 20th century.  Here, in a manner resounding with the language and historical memories of the peoples of both East and West, is an eye-witness account of the fifty years which fashioned the geo-political situation in Europ and the Soviet Union.It is an invaluable document, covering a wide stetch of the little-know tragic destiny of the Armenians of Transcausasia. This is a poersonal adventure, the tale of a man engulfed in events both terrible and droll, told with humour and wise benevolence, without malice or grudge. A tale which shows once again that evil can never completely vanquish the good, nor might defeat right, nor the all-powerful always defeat the little man.  So open the book quickly and, settle down to read this extraordinary tale.  J. Merleau-Ponty (Paris, 1988)Dans ces pages vous trouverez l&#8217;histoire vraie, simple et fantastique d&#8217;un homme courageux. Il \u00e9tait n\u00e9 juste avant le d\u00e9but de ce si\u00e8cle, dans la communaut\u00e9 chr\u00e9tienne de Transcaucasie. Transcaucasie &#8211; le seul son de son nom est comme une musique et, pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, il \u00e9voque une belle, fabuleuse et mythique terre. Mais la communaut\u00e9 arm\u00e9nienne vivant l\u00e0, comme tant de cultures antiques et riches, devait \u00eatre balay\u00e9e par &#8216; ; la mar\u00e9e noire de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 moderne&#8217;, selon la d\u00e9finition de l&#8217;historien A.Guchon.   Car le 19\u00e8me si\u00e8cle a donn\u00e9 naissance au 20\u00e8me avec une s\u00e9rie de secousses violentes pendant que les empires russe et ottoman s&#8217;opposaient dans le conflit historique au-del\u00e0 de leurs fronti\u00e8res et, attir\u00e9e au milieu du conflit, la nation arm\u00e9nienne fut \u00e0 plusieurs reprises massacr\u00e9e et, finalement dispers\u00e9e partout dans le monde. L&#8217;auteur fut t\u00e9moin de ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements importants d\u00e8s son tr\u00e8s jeune \u00e2ge. Il a aussi rejoint la Diaspora arm\u00e9nienne et puis, \u00e0 la suite d&#8217;une s\u00e9rie d&#8217;\u00e9v\u00e9nements extraordinaires, a \u00e9t\u00e9 jet\u00e9 d&#8217;Europe de nouveau dans la Sib\u00e9rie sauvage, par un nouvel ouragan et bien plus violent qui a balay\u00e9 le monde occidental dans la premi\u00e8re partie du 20\u00e8me si\u00e8cle.  Ici, avec une expression et des m\u00e9moires historiques rappelant celles des peuples de l&#8217;est et de l&#8217;ouest, on retrouve un r\u00e9cit de t\u00e9moin oculaire des cinquante ann\u00e9es qui ont fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 la situation g\u00e9opolitique en Europe et en Union Sovi\u00e9tique. C&#8217;est un document de valeur inestimable, couvrant un large pan du destin tragique peu connu des Arm\u00e9niens de Transcausasie. C&#8217;est une aventure personnelle, le conte d&#8217;un homme submerg\u00e9 par des \u00e9v\u00e9nements terribles et dr\u00f4les, dit avec humeur et bienveillance avis\u00e9e, sans m\u00e9chancet\u00e9 ou rancune. Un conte qui prouve de nouveau que le mal ne peut jamais compl\u00e8tement vaincre le bon, ni pourrait d\u00e9faire le bien, que la toute puissance ne pourra pas toujours venir \u00e0 bout du faible.  Ouvrez ainsi le livre rapidement et, installez-vous pour lire ce conte extraordinaire.  J.
