Glagoslav Brings a New Translation from the Armenian to English Readers, a Collection of Short Stories Robinson by Aram Pachyan

London, United Kingdom, June 11, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Summary: Robinson is the first book by Aram Pachyan, which earned him the highest governmental award in Armenia, The Presidential Prize for Literature. The volume is made up of 16 short stories; each story is like a small but sharp painting of various characters. The faces in these paintings look very familiar, like someone you know, or someone hiding deep inside you. An inescapable loneliness of people in the modern world is the main topic of the stories by Pachyan.
