Derenik Demirchian’s “The Leap of Giants” is a vivid literary reportage about the transformation of rural Armenia during the era of collectivization. Through portraits of women field workers and cooperative brigades, Demirchian portrays a powerful social awakening: the rise of the peasant woman from silent laborer to active builder of socialism. The narrative celebrates the heroism of everyday work, the birth of collective consciousness, and the triumph of progress over tradition. “The Leap of Giants” becomes a symbolic account of humanity’s great ascent—both material and moral—toward a new socialist world.
