This 1953 volume is a substantial single-volume collection of poems and poems by Grigol Abashidze (1914–1994), a major figure in 20th-century Georgian poetry and a significant public figure in the Georgian SSR. Published in Tbilisi by the state literary publishing house "Sakhelgami" (the Georgian branch of the "Soviet Writer" publishing house) during the post-Stalin "Thaw" period, this 544-page book represents a milestone in Abashidze's literary career. The collection likely spans his earlier works, reflecting both lyrical and patriotic themes characteristic of Soviet Georgian poetry. With a portrait frontispiece and a substantial print run of 7,000 copies, this hardcover edition was intended for a wide audience, cementing Abashidze's status as a canonical poet. As a collected works from the mid-century, it is a valuable item for collectors of Georgian literature and Soviet-era publications.
