Raffi

 Hakob Melik Hakobian,  otherwise known by his pen name Raffi, (1835 - 1888), was  an Armenian author, a prominent figure of 19th-century Armenian  literature. 


The  excellent qualities of the novelist lie chiefly in his superior style  of writing, which is lucid as the limpid waters of a mountain spring,  colored with fascinating metaphors; a style pulsating with life,  imagination, poetic rhythm, vividness, and warmth. Raffi was the founder  of the Armenian novel, with a perfection of style, with an intriguing  structure.
