The 20th century saw two great world wars. It was a century of crisis, as it was also of change and progress. However, he will be remembered for two huge human tragedies, in which groups of people tried to annihilate specific ethnic groups. This is the case of the Armenian Genocide and the Jewish Holocaust.The Armenian Testament is a historical novel in which the circumstances, characters and places are collected, as well as the political motivations that gave rise to the so-called "Armenian Genocide" between 1915 and 1916. The protagonist is a fictional character, like many those that appear throughout the book. However, the fundamental facts, the actors in the process that gave rise to massacres and deportations, are real, and their perverse policies caused one of the greatest crimes committed against humanity. Despite this, Turkey still does not recognize the genocide and does not understand that such a step would mean a national catharsis, which would help in its transformation into a modern European nation. Then, and only then, will the Armenians be able to definitively bury their victims and look resolutely to the future. "A tragic story told with sensitivity and beauty. An amazing book." Ceci, Goodreads.«A beautiful, fine narrative about one of the first atrocities of the 20th century. Delicate treatise on this tragic historical event narrated from a fiction with capricious detail, to the personal experience of an expatriate, to the physical and spiritual restlessness of the Armenian people. Highly recommended". Maria Reyero, Goodreads."Reading The Armenian Testament is not only a pleasure, it is also a lesson from a forgotten history that was one of the great injustices of the 20th century." D. Martínez, Diario de Almería.
