Wherever human settle to live, whether it is arduous mountains or barrens, he always humanizes the nature. Not only monuments of world civilizations have great value but also those invisible, ephemeral societies that are scattered at the edges of the Earth and are invaluable exactly because they left no trace of their existence. It is this invisibility that we can see as their quality because every trace left is material and those people created not only material but also spiritual values with their sorrow and joy, sin and misfortune, hospitality, life and death. There is a greater life and a transient life, the latter is only a drop in the first one but is also its mirror. Both greater and transient lives wail in poets feelings and it infects the reader too. And the end of both lives is equally apocalyptic. Dear names such as Khitale, Chirdili, Samkbali, Gadua, Anatori and many more remain enigmas in the post-apocalyptic dream. "Times has woven ruins with dry fern"... Only fern, the oldest dweller of the Earth remains to witness its end... (from the afterword by Zurab Kiknadze)
