Abstract

Werfel’s novel tells a story of the supposedly heroic uprising of the Musa Dagh Armenians against the Ottoman army in mid-1915. Describing his study not as a critique of Werfel's story but as a reconstruction of the incident’s history, Dr. Kemal Çiçek analysed various aspects of the Musa Dagh Revolt, its causes and aftermath, using a wide range of sources.
