Atrpet, known as a writer to the public at large, was one of the eminent figures of the Armenian culture of the 19th<\/sup>-20th<\/sup> centuries. However, his published and unpublished travel notes and descriptive works provide invaluable, sometimes even primary information, on the geography, history, culture, and various archaeological monuments of the Armenian Highland.<\/p>\n

This book presents a study on the monuments called \u201cdragons\u201d or dragon stones, and is envisaged for the specialists and those interested in the culture and art of the past.<\/p>\n

The book cover and title page depict the Tsaghkavet Mountains in the Tortum region, a drawing of the title page of ” The Dragon Mother,” a story by Atrpet, and Gyol Yurt 1 and Darik 1 dragon stones (drawn by Atrpet and photographed by A. Bobokhyan)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
