Peter Nasmyth has lived in & travelled extensively throughout Georgia for twenty years. Georgia in the Mountains of Poetry is his fascinating account of this intriguing country, based on his travels & hundreds of wide-ranging interviews. Reprinted numerous times, it remains the only comprehensive book on Georgia`s history & culture written for the general reader, now substantially revised & expanded for this new edition. Georgia
- no larger than Switzerland
- ranks in the world`s top twelve countries for geographical diversity. It borders on the Black Sea & contains the heart of the Caucasus mountains, subtropical wetlands & semi-arid regions. Stone towers attest to its 3, 000-year-old history, which has witnessed the thous&-year reign of the Bagratuni monarchy, the rise & fall of the Soviet Union, a bitter civil war & the celebration of its independence in 1991. Yet little is known about this remarkable place outside its borders, & Georgia in the Mountains of Poetry is essential reading for anyone interested in this fascinating region, as well as for students & researchers looking for an insight into life after the collapse of the old Soviet order in the richest & most dramatic of its former republics.

This guide provides the most up-to-date & detailed source of hard facts for independent travellers & hikers on getting to & around this little-explored but very welcoming ex-Soviet state. Thorough coverage is provided on the increasingly cosmopolitan capital, Tbilisi, together with plenty of suggestions for itineraries further afield highlighting Georgia's picturesque & unspoiled countryside. ...

Despite being located on the extreme eastern boundary of Europe, & having been frequently conquered by invading people from Asia, including Arabs, Turks, Persians, Mongols, & more recently Russians, Georgians still regard themselves very much as Europeans & it is to becoming a future member state of the EU that the majority of the people now aspire. As for the traditional folk-tales from the region, one of their main characteristics is that they are packed with action: Whilst a written, `literary` novel or short story might devote paragraphs to descriptions of people or places, these tales usually settle for an adjective or two; `a thick impassable forest`, `a handsome stately man`, or a formula such as `not-seen-beneath-the-sun beauty`. Many of the heroes & heroines do not even have names (Hunt, 1999, p.8). Safely cocooned, or so we like to kid ourselves, in our sanitised western urban environment, we tend to take the elements for granted. However, tales from a time when the Earth was new help to jolt us out of our daily lethargy, as do the stories in this collection
- a number of which have never been translated from Georgian direct into English before.
