Karlo Kaladze (1904-1988) was a prominent Georgian poet and playwright, known for his lyrical agility and early association with the Georgian avant-garde and proletarian literary movements. Published at the height of the Great Purges in 1937, "Khertvisi Dawns" (Khertvisis gantiadebi) is a collection of patriotic and civic poetry reflecting the complex ideological and emotional climate of the Stalinist era in the Caucasus. The title invokes the ancient Khertvisi Fortress, symbolizing Georgian historical resilience. Issued by the "Federatsia" press in a limited print run of 2,500 copies, fragile softcover editions from the tragic year of 1937 are inherently scarce, as many literary works and their authors fell victim to strict censorship and destruction. This specific copy holds notable historical value, bearing a contemporary, handwritten presentation inscription from Kaladze dated November 1937 in the mining town of Tkibuli.
