He would go on to publish further story collections through the 1950s, including a further volume issued by the same press in 1959, and is remembered as both a practicing writer and a literary scholar. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585419440170,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_8635_8802c77d-2c30-4302-b4f6-9cff916e7df8.jpg?v=1784212063","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/chachibaia-archil-in-muddy-waters-mghvrie-talghebshi-first-edition-1955-in-georgian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
