FOR THE SAKE OF HONOR (Badvi Hamar): A Play

By Andre Shirvanzade, Translated with and Introduction by Nishan Parlakian

Shirvanzade's plays - except for The Princess, which appeared in 1891 - were all written in the twentieth century. Like his narrative works, his plays were drawn from life as he saw it and have come to be regarded as one of the cornerstones in the growth and development of Armenian theater in later years. For the Sake of Honor (Badvi Hamar) is his masterpiece. from the introduction by Nishan Parlakian
