A definitive, comprehensive single-volume collection of the poetic works of Ioseb Grishashvili (1889–1965), one of the most beloved and influential Georgian poets of the twentieth century. Grishashvili was not only a masterful lyricist but also a devoted chronicler of old Tiflis (Tbilisi), a bibliophile, and a scholar of Georgian cultural heritage. This 1955 edition includes an insightful introduction by the literary critic G. Jibladze and remains a cornerstone work for any study of Grishashvili's contribution to modern Georgian poetry. This particular copy is of exceptional significance due to the presence of the author's authentic handwritten dedication, signed and dated in the very year of publication. Association copies of this caliber, signed by Grishashvili for his contemporaries, are highly prized by collectors of Georgian literary heritage and institutional archives, serving as a testament to the poet’s active role in the cultural life of mid-century Soviet Georgia.
