Georgia is the land of fairy tales and legends, and the Georgians are known for their storytelling prowess. The tales, which captivate through the blend of European and Oriental motifs, express the people's longing for a happy life filled with freedom and justice. We encounter heroes of great bravery: they bring the dead back to life, conquer cruel dragons, and know how to find their beloved in distant lands. The storyteller enchants, much like Orpheus, with magical melodies that even mesmerize the ruler of life and death, the fearsome guardian of the tree of immortality. This volume presents the most beautiful Georgian fairy tales.
