Abstract

The aim of the present publication is to study the novel by Nar-Dos “The Death” with new
standards of evaluation of vital issues. Recently the scholars who had studied the works by
Nar-Dos had lightly referred to the nominated issues. In the present study a reference is made
to the author’s five manuscripts, which had their fertile influence on the final version of the
novel “The Death”. It is noteworthy that in the mentioned work the author not only revealed an
artistic approach to the philosophical concept of suicide but also gave the moral psychological
depiction of a man. As a result of the current observations it is concluded that this full-scale
work by Nar-Dos gives peculiar meaning to both physical and moral philosophy of death in the
context of Armenian fiction.
