In this penetrating literary diary, Hagop Baronian chronicles the life of 1880’s Constantinople, the colorful cosmopolitan capital of the collapsing Ottoman Empire. As an Ottoman Armenian, Baronian follows the day-to-day developments of the “Armenian Question” and also provides a no holds barred portrait of the Armenians of Constantinople, who pursued a life of morally bankrupt

material well-being to the exclusion of literature, education and the spirit.

Hratch Demiurge is a comic poet, teacher and translator of Daniel Varoujan’s Pagan Songs. He translated “My Ledger” with his students from Rose and Alex Pilibos High School as part of a translation course in 2023.
