Compiled by Medea Magalashvili

Giorgi Kekelidze: “My lifelong passion sustained by my professional interest is to discover something new while leafing through the pages kept in the archive. The discovery becomes even more thrilling when it opens the hitherto unknown historical personalities or events. The collection of essays offered by Medea Magalashvili brings to life our history, events and personalities that shaped our literature, sometimes reviving the names unduly forgotten or neglected. Thanks to her sense of style and taste, Medea has achieved her main objective: to animate the old literary salons and guide the readers through unknown and interesting palaces of the previous centuries.”
