Ilia Chavchavadze (1837-1907), Georgian prince, poet, novelist, publicist, and banker, stands as the central figure of the nineteenth-century Georgian national revival and the founder of critical realism in Georgian prose. Educated in Tbilisi and at St. Petersburg University, he returned to Georgia to lead a generation of reformist writers who reshaped Georgian literary language and public life; he directed the Georgian Nobility Land Bank for three decades, founded and edited the influential journal "Iveria," and headed the Society for the Spreading of Literacy among Georgians. His narrative poems and novellas, among them "The Hermit," "Is He a Human Being?," and "Otar's Widow," together with his essays on history, education, and the peasant question, made him the most authoritative voice of Georgian civic and literary culture; his assassination in 1907 was widely read as a political killing, and the Georgian Orthodox Church later canonized him as Saint Ilia the Righteous. This five-volume "Complete Collection," edited over a quarter-century (1937-1962) by the philologist Pavle Ingorokva, represents one of only two full scholarly editions of Chavchavadze's writings produced in the twentieth century (the other being Ingorokva's later ten-volume edition), gathering his poetry, prose, literary and art criticism, historical and economic writings, public diary, and correspondence, with introductory essays by leading Soviet Georgian philologists. Complete, matching five-volume sets assembled across such a long publication span rarely survive together in consistent condition; the set offered here is complete in text throughout, with only modest condition issues that do not affect completeness. It is a foundational reference set for any serious library of Georgian literature and history.
