Varlam Zhuruli was a recognized Georgian poet whose works often reflected traditional lyrical themes, blending personal emotion with pastoral and civic motifs. Published in 1956 by "Sakhelgami" (the State Publishing House of Georgia), this substantial volume, simply titled "Lirika," serves as a comprehensive collection of his mid-century poetic output. The book features a classic 1950s half-cloth binding with a subtly decorated paper board designed by O. Jishkariani. Issued during the early years of the Khrushchev Thaw in a print run of 5,000 copies, standard examples of this edition occasionally appear on the regional market. However, the collectability of this specific volume is significantly elevated by its unique provenance. The front endpaper bears an intimate, handwritten presentation inscription from Varlam Zhuruli, dated January 1957. This authentic authorial signature transforms the book into an appealing association copy, making it a desirable artifact for collectors of mid-twentieth-century Caucasian poetry and literary history.
