Published during the Khrushchev Thaw in 1958, \"Zghvasa da khmeletze\" (On Sea and on Land) is a substantial collection of his novellas and short stories, capturing human drama against the backdrop of aviation, maritime voyages, and everyday struggles. Issued by the \"Sabchota Mtserali\" press — the publishing house of the Georgian Writers' Union — in a print run of 8,000 copies, the volume reflects the growing readership for accessible, adventure-inflected prose during the late 1950s. The book is presented in a half-binding with cloth spine and an illustrated dust jacket by N. Iankoshvili, a format typical of substantial prose collections of the period, and includes a portrait plate of the author. This particular copy is distinguished by the author's autograph on the front free endpaper, adding association value for collectors of twentieth-century Georgian prose and Soviet-era literary history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44593407590442,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_9234.jpg?v=1784505906","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/signed-lomidze-andro-on-sea-and-on-land-novellas-zghvasa-da-khmeletze-1958-in-georgian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
