Remnants

<p>This is a classic novel set in the late Ottoman Empire. Oshagan's Remnants: The Way of the Womb Book 1 (Mnatsortats in the original Armenian) is his magnum opus and the culmination of a series of powerful innovative novels on Muslim-Christian and especially Turkish-Armenian relations in the Ottoman Empire. Remnants is a literary reconstruction of the pre-genocide world of the Armenians told through the horrific collapse of a family the Nalbandians. The author intended the novel to be divided into three parts (Part I: The Way of the Womb; Part II: The Way of Blood; Part III: Hell) but was unable to write the third part which was to be devoted to the extermination of the Armenians depicting the twenty-four hours during which the Armenian population of Bursa was annihilated. This is by far one of the most important innovative novels ever written on the Ottoman Empire and social relations among its diverse Muslim and Christian populations. This work has been translated into English by a preeminent scholar and mainstream translator G. M. Goshgarian.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
