Everywhere we heard the magical word: Georgia. People spoke of Georgia as a second paradise. The magic of the name is more powerful today than ever - Georgia, the land of Medea and the Argonauts, once the meeting point of East and West, later the Côte d'Azur of the East. But the paradise is currently undergoing renovation, sometimes brutally, sometimes gently. Georgia - only as large as Bavaria - is a country in transition. More and more tourists are visiting this region: from the archaic Svaneti to the wine paradise of Kakheti to the Black Sea coast. The contrasting regions and the contradictory society are reflected in Georgia's literature: a rich literary past as well as many attention-grabbing contemporary storytellers. Stories from and about Georgia by Nino Haratischwili, Navid Kermani, Dato Turashvili, Giwi Margwelashvili.
