About author Nar-Dos (from Wikipedia)


Michael Hovhannisyan (Միքայել Հովհաննիսյան), known by the pen name Nar-Dos, (Նար-Դոս) (March 1, 1867 ? July 13, 1933) was an Armenian writer.


Nar-Dos was born in a wool seller's family in Tbilisi, Georgia in 1867. He started his education in a parochial school of Saint Karapet church, then he continued in Nicolaev municipal school and entered Khon seminary in Kutaisi state which he did not finish because of scarcity of living and returned to Tbilisi. He started locksmith profession at Michaelian craft school where he met Armenian poet Alexander Tsaturian.


After one year Nar-Dos left Michaelyan craft school and started practicing journalism. In 1890?1906 he was the responsible secretary of Nor dar (?Նոր դար?) periodical. He worked as a secretary and proofreader in Aghbyur-Taraz (?Աղբյուր-Տարազ?) periodical in 1903, and in Surhandak (?Սուրհանդակ?) newspaper in 1913?1918.


Nar-Dos began writing in the 1880s starting with poems some of which were published in Araks (?Արաքս?) (Saint-Petersburg) and ?Sokhak Hayastani? (?Սոխակ Հայաստանի?) collection. He also wrote stories, feuilletons and plays. Under the influence of Gabriel Sundukyan Nar-Dos created the plays ?Mayini gangaty? (?Մայինի գանգատը?), ?Honey and flies? (?Մեղր և ճանճեր?)(1886), ?Brother? (?Եղբայր?)(1887).


The Killed DoveUnder the pen name Mikho-Ohan he published ?Tchshmarit barekamy? (?Ճշմարիտ բարեկամը?), ?Nune? (?Նունե?) (1886), ?Barerar ev vordegir? (?Բարերար և որդեգիր?) (1888), ?Knkush larer? (?Քնքուշ լարեր?)(1887), ?Zazunyan? (?Զազունյան?)(1890) in ?Nor dar? newspaper. In the stories and novels of his first period he mainly describes the urban life focusing on certain social groups (?Our District? (?Մեր թաղը?), ?Hopop? (1890), ?Hogun vra hasav? (?Հոգուն վրա հասավ?) (1889), ?Anna Saroyan? (?Աննա Սարոյան?)(1888)). One of the famous stories of this period is ?She and I? (?Ես և նա?) wrote in 1889.


After 1890 a new period begins in Nar-Dos? creative life of which deep psychological analysis is typical. Famous works of this period are ?The Killed Dove? (?Սպանված աղավնին?)(1898) in which the author depicts the tragedy of an Armenian woman and ?Struggle? (?Պայքար?)(1911) and ?The Death? (?Մահը?)(reedited in 1912).


Nar-Dos developed the psychological trend of Armenian critical realism displaying refined Armenian language.
