Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Tanning and foxing , price clippedMarkings: Previous ownerA haunting work of literary fiction by the celebrated Georgian-Soviet poet and novelist Bulat Okudzhava, Nocturne: From the Notes of Lieutenant Amiran Amila…khvari, Retired chronicles the reflective memoirs of a Georgian military officer navigating the turbulent currents of history, memory, and personal identity in the aftermath of war. Written with the lyrical, melancholic grace that defines Okudzhava's prose, the novel presents Amilakhvari's intimate recollections as a meditation on loss, honor, and the passage of time in the Caucasus. The narrative unfolds with a quiet, elegiac tone, weaving together the personal and the historical as the retired lieutenant confronts the ghosts of his past against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Okudzhava illustrates with characteristic warmth and irony how the individual conscience endures amid the sweeping forces of empire and revolution, making this a deeply humane and poetically resonant work of twentieth-century Russian-language literature. Hardback.
