Hovhannes Tumanyan's scientific biography - written but not published
Associate Doctor of Philology Susanna Hovhannisyan is the author of Hovhannes Tumanyan's scientific biography, tremendous work depicting the great poet's life in a new light.
"This is something absolutely new in terms of introducing Tumanyan's biography. Strange though it is, there are so far no available records describing the great poet's life after 1900," Susanna Hovhannisyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. According to her, the book reflects the key moments of the Tumanyan's life from 1900 to 1912.
The book was written in May but has not been published due to the lack of financial means. "The absence of Pushkin's scientific biography was estimated as a cultural loss in Moscow, whereas our government does not even think about assisting in the publication of Hovhannes Tumanyan's scientific biography," the author said.
Great Armenian poet and public figure Hovhannes T. Tumanyan was born on February 19, 1869 in Dsegh, Lori region (north Armenia), to a family of parish priest. In 1878-83, he studied in Djalalogli (Stepanavan) local school and then continued his education Nersisyan college (Tbilisi). However, after 3 years of studies, financial hardships caused the future writer to drop out of school. Tumanyan started writing in the early 1880s, but gained the recognition of poet after the publication of his first collection of poems. Hovhannes Tumanyan died in 1923.
