An American Classic Translated

Many novels were translated into Armenian in the 19th century. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe was an immediate sensation and was translated into over 35 different languages. During the first year of publication, more than 200,000 copies were sold in the United States and over one million in England.
