Taking the emancipated reader seriously, Morchiladze challenges his audience with intricate storytelling. His distinctive voice and approach to narrative make him a compelling figure in modern literature.


"Originally published in Georgian as Mogzauroba Qarabaghshi by Bakur Sulakauri Publishing, Tbilisi, Georgia, 1992."--Title page verso.
An epic story in fifty-four short, refined chapters, this is the tale of an abduction and a pursuit across nineteenth-century Georgia at the time of its annexation by the Russian Empire. Evoking the delicate atmosphere of a culture all but lost to time, this is a novel of chivalry and gross misunderstanding, of love and war, as Georgian nobleman Baduna Pavneli--alleged to have killed a Russian officer--travels from Tiflis to the West searching for his missing brother, with the police forever at his heels.
