The Forty Days of Musa Dagh

In every sense a true and thrilling novel... It tells a story which it is almost one's duty as an intelligent human being to read. And one's duty here becomes one's pleasure also

New York Times Book Review

Forty Days will invade your senses and keep the blood pounding. Once read, it will never be forgotten

The New York Times

Werfel's book ... did more than the efforts of any diplomat, journalist, or historian to encourage speech about the unspeakable. It arrives today as a timely reminder that savagery thrives in silence

The Barnes and Noble Review

A crackling read. Symphonic in its handling of profound themes, respectful of its most vacillating characters, Werfel's novel is a grand and satisfying story about the necessities and difficulties of leadership
