His best-known works, including the toast-poem \"Sadghegrdzelo\" and elegies mourning fellow poets, became staples of the Georgian literary canon. This edition, edited with scholarly notes and a critical essay by Mikheil Zandukeli, appeared in its fifth printing in 1935 as part of Sakhelgami's program of canonizing nineteenth-century Georgian classics for the Soviet reading public, complete with a formal portrait of the poet in military uniform and decorations. The elaborate Art Nouveau-patterned endpapers are characteristic of the higher production standard given to major canonical authors in this series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44534766895146,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7368.jpg?v=1783286031","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/orbeliani-grigol-poems-leksebi-edited-by-mikheil-zandukeli-1935-in-georgian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
