About novel

A short, true masterpiece evoking the delicate aroma and atmosphere of Georgia in the early 19th century. "Their behavior is strange and unacceptable for us, but their natural chivalry cannot fail to charm you." – this is how one of the characters of this novel, the wife of a Russian colonel, describes the Georgians. And certainly, Russians could not understand Georgians and their behavior in the early 1800s when they first occupied the tiny country. This tragic story of a young Georgian man who became the victim of this misunderstanding symbolizes the story of Georgia being the victim of the Russian Empire.[1]

Translations

The Novel is Translated into several languages including: English(Of Old Hearts and Swords) and Swedish(Spegelriket).
