The unique "diary" presented through illustrations is based on Sargis Mangasaryan's memories and the most breathtaking events of his difficult and unusual path. To highlight the validity of the story the book contains archives, photos, parts from letters, and diary notes. These materials help to recreate the scenes of the vicious and inhuman era that was fated to the artist. Stalinist repressions, war, slavery, barriers for creativity... Adventures that only a strong individual can survive, even though, usually, a person's individuality lost its value and meaning. For his memories the artist chose the title "Zako: Green fruit" without giving any comments. A person that learnt the art of keeping a diary and writing so concretely and honestly, could not find any words to add to the title, "Zako: Green fruit."
The dream of a less corrupt, democratic Armenia drove hundreds of thousands onto the streets across the country in the spring of 2018. This peaceful mass movement actually succeeded in driving the corrupt government out of office. But what has become of the great promise in the meantime? Which changes are sustainable and how does the Karabach Conflict affect social developments? This book is a highly topical encounter with modern Armenia, a valuable continuation of the author's first book (Den Ararat in front of her eyes - with Christina Leumann), but also an excitingly written examination of the history of this fascinating, but largely unknown country.
