The book explores how Vazha-Pshavela integrates archaic mythological structures, pagan worldview, folk beliefs, and symbolic archetypes into his artistic system, creating a unique synthesis of mythical and modern artistic consciousness. Key themes include the mythological roots of characters (e.g., Mindia, Aghaza, Aluda Ketelauri), the conflict between individual and collective, nature and civilization, pagan ethics versus Christian morality, and the poet’s innovative use of myth to address existential and national questions in late 19th–early 20th-century Georgian literature. Richly illustrated with drawings, portraits, and manuscript facsimiles, the volume was published by the prestigious “Metsniereba” publishing house under the auspices of the Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature (Georgian SSR Academy of Sciences) in a limited run of 2,000 copies. A fundamental work in Vazha-Pshavela studies and Georgian mythopoetic criticism, this hardcover edition remains highly sought after by collectors of Georgian literature, Soviet-era national humanities scholarship, Caucasian studies, literary theory on myth, and rare 1980s academic publications from Georgia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963028766762,"sku":"EB-306364073099","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_e7d7c0ef-ca16-4244-aac9-795f012fa8fe.jpg?v=1768160009"},{"product_id":"for-marxist-linguistics-1934-niko-marr-georgian-japhetic-theory-collection-rare","title":"Chikovani M. et al.

Marr, an academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and a key figure in early Soviet linguistics, promoted a Marxist materialist approach to language origins, viewing it as a class-based superstructure evolving through stages tied to socio-economic formations. The collection, edited by prominent Georgian scholars (Mikheil Chikovani, Alexandre Ghlonti, Mikheil Chkhenkeli et al.), contains articles, tributes, analyses of Marr’s Japhetic linguistics, Caucasian philology, paleontology of speech, and his archaeological excavations (Ani, Mtskheta, etc.), all in the context of building a proletarian linguistics in the USSR. Texts appear in both Georgian and Russian, reflecting the bilingual academic environment of 1930s Soviet Georgia. Lavishly produced with portraits of Marr, illustrations (archaeological finds, linguistic charts), and in sturdy owner’s calico binding, this 333-page volume is a significant artifact of the peak period of Marrism before its official condemnation in 1950 (Stalin’s “Marxism and Problems of Linguistics”). Highly collectible for specialists in history of linguistics, Soviet science policy, Caucasian studies, Japhetic theory, early Marxist philology, Georgian-Soviet academia, and rare 1930s Tbilisi imprints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963029127210,"sku":"EB-306376477542","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_5930557e-1d05-4882-b174-27162d2f8f46.jpg?v=1768160026"},{"product_id":"egnate-ninoshvili-complete-collection-of-works-georgian-1954","title":"Ninoshvili Egnate.
