A scarce and handsomely designed collection of lyric poetry by the Georgian poet Polio Abramia (1915–1968). Published in Tbilisi during the Khrushchev Thaw, "White Sails" captures the revived romantic and humanist spirit of early 1960s Soviet Georgian literature, focusing on themes of nature, maritime motifs, and personal reflection. The volume is notably enhanced by its original illustrated dust jacket, designed by the graphic artist D. Dundua, featuring a vibrant, stylized seascape with colorful sails—a fine example of the mid-century modern aesthetic emerging in Soviet book design at the time. Issued by the "Sabchota Sakartvelo" press in a small print run of only 2,000 copies, fragile paperback volumes from this era with their original dust jackets completely intact are exceedingly uncommon on the international market today. This specific copy is distinguished by the author's autograph on the inside front wrapper, dated precisely in the year of publication. The presence of the authentic authorial signature transforms this well-preserved mid-century poetry collection into a desirable association copy for collectors of Caucasian literature and Soviet-era book arts.
