The Georgian classic writer’s book was written in 1962, but still impresses readers with its exquisite language and tragic characters. The collection of stories has been published many times over the years, but now we offer a new, illustrated publication (artist Teona Chanishvili).

 

This book is some sorts of mosaic of a small village before revolution. In which the truth is organically connected to conditionality. In this world of idealists, dreamers, naughty and ambitious people the main theme is the tragic love story of Marita and Gedia. Marita is a symbol of Georgian beauty.

 

People living in poverty work hard to earn some money and dream about lucky future. Everyone is looking for their talisman, everyone is asking to the wishing tree that their dreams have come true.
