Georgia Through Earth, Fire, Air and Water

More about the book

Georgian folk-tales, characterized by their action-packed narratives and minimal descriptions, reflect the region's unique cultural identity despite its history of invasions. The stories often feature unnamed heroes and heroines, emphasizing the essence of adventure over detailed characterization. This collection includes several tales that have never before been translated directly into English, offering readers a glimpse into a rich tradition that aims to reconnect modern audiences with the vibrancy of ancient narratives from a time when the Earth was new.
