About the book: 2019 / Childhood is a whole world that we carry in our hearts throughout our lives. And to which we can never return. There, in the magical universe of Childhood, the sky and grass were a completely different color. There, mother was so young and happy, and grandmother baked fragrant pies and told amazing fairy tales. Every joy and every sadness was there once and for all, because for the first time. And the eyes were wide open every second, looking around with delight. And the soul was wide open, and every new acquaintance was immediately a friend. And then the fog descends into memory, and the magical land of Childhood floats somewhere beyond the horizon. Each of us has our own memories of that time. Just like the hero of Arthur Kajar’s book “Matani”. The novel is about an ordinary boy from Armenia who experiences his victories and defeats in the way only a child can do - in the fullness of feelings and emotions. In the life of the main character there are friends, mountains, adventures, ill-wishers, fights, and naive love. He has a great grief in the form of absolute pitch, because of which the boy is sent to violin class. There is also great joy - playing pranks with your best friend. And in his life there is something that adults lack - the ability to breathe deeply and every day to be surprised at what miracles life is capable of..
