Armenian is one of the world’s oldest literary languages, with a written tradition reaching back to the fifth century and an alphabet created to give a scattered people a homeland they could carry. Glagoslav’s Armenian list is a rare window into that literature in English, weighted toward the writers shaping it now.

At the contemporary heart of the collection is Aram Pachyan, one of the most acclaimed Armenian novelists of his generation, whose Goodbye, Bird and Robinson probe memory, isolation, and the self after empire. Around him stand Susanna Harutyunyan’s mythic Ravens before Noah, Narek Malian’s Point Zero, Karine Khodikyan’s The Door Was Open, and Grigor Shashikyan’s Jesus’ Cat, a chorus of voices from a small nation with an outsized literary imagination.

Alongside them, The Golden Maiden gathers the folk tales that carried Armenian storytelling across centuries. Fiction and folklore, the ancient and the urgently new: browse the full list below, each title in English translation.
