Publisher's softcover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1905 Tiflis edition is a landmark publication in the history of Georgian-Russian literary relations, marking the inaugural volume of the \"Life of Remarkable People of Georgia\" series. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Georgian Romanticism, including the arrangement of a comprehensive critical-biographical sketch of Prince Nikoloz Baratashvili, several of his personal letters, and a curated selection of his most influential lyric poems. Often called the \"Georgian Byron,\" Baratashvili's legacy was largely rediscovered posthumously, and this volume serves as a vital record of his reception during the intellectual ferment of the early 20th century in the Caucasus.  The book captures the melancholic and philosophical essence of his masterpiece \"Merani\" and his reflections on the fate of the Georgian nation. As a vital primary source, this volume documents the efforts of the \"Kavkazovedeniye\" (Caucasian Studies) circle to canonize Baratashvili for a Russian-speaking audience, bridging the gap between his tragic, short life and his status as a national icon. Published in a modest softcover format just as the 1905 Revolution was beginning to stir in Tiflis, this work is a significant bibliographical rarity for scholars of Romanticism, specialists in Caucasian history, and collectors of pre-revolutionary Georgian imprints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44126680743978,"sku":"BOOK-BARVOL-18VA","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7189.jpg?v=1771949273","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/baratovs-volume-critical-and-biographical-sketch-of-prince-n-m-baratashvili-letters-and-selected-poems-baratovskiy-tomik-1905-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
