Ararat is a story of the meek, the gentle people who have inherited no part of the earth, of their struggle to preserve their identity, and of their lost and homeless children. It is a story of racial clashes, of war and revolution, of cruelty and heroism. It tells of two heroes, each representative of the polarities of human reliance: Amos Lyle, Texas cowhand turned missionary, who finds himself shepherding his flock before the storm of Turkish wrath, a biblical figure with a simple faith in God's goodness and an overweening reliance in His will; and Paul Stepanovitch Markov, an officer in the Russian Imperial Army, educated with a single ideal--the sufficience of human will to meet any exigency.
