Galaktion Tabidze Books

Galaktion Tabidze was a leading Georgian poet of the twentieth century, whose writings profoundly influenced all subsequent generations. While early works, influenced by symbolism, garnered acclaim, it was a later collection that established him as a preeminent voice in Georgian poetry for decades. His verses frequently explored themes of isolation, lovelessness, and disquieting premonitions. Despite enduring immense pressure and personal tragedy under Soviet authorities, which plunged him into depression and alcoholism, his prolific output left an indelible mark on modern Georgian literature.
