LITERARY-IDEOLOGICAL REFINEMENT OF SHAHAN SHAHNOUR’S STORY “THE GUARDIAN OF LUXEMBOURG”

Abstract

The article presents the circumstances and the process of literary-ideological refinement
of Shahan Shahnour’s story “The Guardian of Luxembourg”. It analyzes the similarities and
differences between the two versions of the story, as well as the artistic-ideological manifesta-
tions of Shahnourian narrative. As a result of refinement of “The Guardian of Luxembourg”,
the reader was granted with a fairly complete and ultimate work, which, apparently, represents
the literary and national life of Diaspora Armenians and the problems they faced during 30-40s
of the last century, which are still relevant today in some of their manifestations.
