Apart from traditional fables, the collection comprises the stories which can be attributed to the genre. A parable can be a more precise term for the stories that depict realistic events or fairy-tale, fantasy plots that acquire a symbolic meaning. They invariably render human traits, aspirations and actions through a symbolic imagery, elevating them to the status of generalization.

 

As diverse as human lives and characters, the stories are by the following writers of the past and present: Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani, Akaki Tsereteli, Vazha-Pshavela, Niko Lordkipanidze, Leo Kiacheli, Giorgi Leonidze, Guram Rcheulisvili, Revaz Inanishvili, Nodar Tsuleiskiri, Rezo Cheishvili, Shota Chantladze, Erlom Akhvlediani and Irakli Samsonadze.
