Tumanyan's Fairy Tales and Poems for Family Reading

Tumanyan's Fairy Tales Around the Family Table

Is there an Armenian home where a child has not grown up with Tumanyan's fairy tales? "Lazy Huri," "Brave Nazar," "The Liar," "The Master and the Servant" - these stories pass from one generation to the next as a family inheritance. Hovhannes Tumanyan knew the language of a child's heart: his tales make us laugh and teach wisdom at the same time, without preaching, in simple and warm words.

Reading together in the evening is one of the most precious hours of childhood. Open the book Fairy Tales and you can read it online right on your screen, free and without complicated registration. Little ones will recognize familiar heroes, and grown-ups will rediscover the taste of their own childhood.

Tumanyan's work, however, does not end with fairy tales. His collection Poems - including "Anush," "Maro," and "The Capture of Tmuk Fortress" - opens the depth of Armenian poetry for older children and teenagers: love, honor, homeland, and fate. You can read these online too, sharing the joy of reading as a family.

Try a simple habit: each evening, read one page aloud together. Your child will not only come to love books but will also develop a feel for language through Tumanyan's pure and rich Armenian.

At ELIB, alongside Tumanyan, you will find hundreds of works of Armenian and world literature. Browse the library to discover your family's next favorite book.
