This book, for the first time ever, summarizes the most interest-ing and little-studied materials from the history of Armenian and other peoples' shadow theater. The book is more of a non-fiction work with touches of artistic licensing, which will attract the reader. However, considering the scarcity of Armenian-language literature on this topic, the author wished to present the materials as comprehensively as possi-ble. The author, an advocate for the restoration of traditional Armenian shadow play, is the head of Ayrogi Shadow Theater. Considering the collected documentary materials and observa-tions, this book will certainly interest specialists, students and readers who are curious about this unique culture.
