Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This collection brings together five masterful short stories that capture Goderdzi Chokheli's genius as a chronicler of his time. Set in the wild mountain villages in 20th-century Georgia, these charming, heartbreaking stories explore the full territory of human experience. Chokheli's storyt…elling method is perhaps best shown in 'Cipollino', where an ethnographic account of villagers' age-old customs leads into a hilarious tale which ends on a poignant note. 'Fish Letters' is the story of a man who withdraws from life to go be a fish in the river; in Chokheli's poetics, what at first appears absurd develops into heartrending tragedy. In one of his most comic pieces, 'The Communal Crow', villagers compete for ownership of a crow under the arbitration of the local Communist Party official. What unfolds is a comedy of manners, as a rather simple yet absurd problem stumps the Soviet judicial system. These stories demonstrate Chokheli's mastery of the short story form. Translated into English for the first time Chokheli's literary contribution is now ready for the English-speaking world. AUTHOR: Goderdzi Chokheli was born in 1954 in a small village north-east of Tbilisi, and died in Tbilisi in 2007. He was one of the most important filmmakers and prose writers of his era.He published one novel Human Sadness and five short stories. His films and screen plays won many awards both inside Georgia and abroad. This collection brings together five masterful short stories that capture Goderdzi Chokheli's genius as a chronicler of his time. Set in the wild mountain villages in 20th-century Georgia, these charming, heartbreaking stories explore the full territory of human experience. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Human Sadness is a classic Georgian novel translated into English for the first time. Set in the harsh mountain world of Soviet Georgia, Goderdzi Chokheli's 1984 novel is a journey through life, where 'every character is a story', where the real and the magical intermingle. The story is narr…ated by five distinct voices, each of which was translated by a different translator in order to preserve its individuality. The book begins as a frustrated young novelist comes across a collection of notebooks and letters documenting a strange military campaign, of which his grandmother was a part. One winter, the inhabitants of Chokhi, a remote village primarily women, children and old men, as most of the young men are away tending to their flocks decide to reassert their power over the neighbouring villages in Gudamaqari Gorge. Traditionally, Chokhi has reigned supreme in the region, with Chokhian men enjoying the right to claim any women from the surrounding villages as their wives. When a Chokhian boy is turned down, his mother enlists the other villagers in a campaign to conquer the other villages. Along the way, the Chokhians document their progress and collect the worries, memories, folktales and philosophical musings of both their fellow conquerors and the villages they conquer. AUTHOR: Goderdzi Chokheli was born in 1954 in a small village north-east of Tbilisi, and died in Tbilisi in 2007. He was one of the most important filmmakers and prose writers of his era.He published one novel Human Sadness and five short stories. His films and screen plays won many awards both inside Georgia and abroad. His unique place in Georgian society and culture is encapsulated by Levan Berdzenishvili: 'Goderdzi Chokheli did not write anti-Soviet literature, he wrote non-Soviet literature. This is something that nobody else was able to do.' Goderdzi Chokheli's 1984 novel is a journey through life, where 'every character is a story', where the real and the magical intermingle. The story is narrated by five distinct voices, each of which was translated by a different translator in order to preserve its individuality.
