The Story of Zartonk Audiobook

The idea of creating the Zartonk narrative podcast was born from a deep passion for one of the narrator’s favorite books and the desire to share its enduring power with today’s world. More than just an audiobook, this project strives to stir hearts and minds through the unforgettable characters and events of Malkhas’s masterpiece.

By reviving a cornerstone of Western Armenian revolutionary literature, the podcast aims to spark love and sympathy for the genre, while introducing a fresh style of presentation that builds anticipation and engagement.
