Guram Dochanashvili is one of the brightest representatives of modern Georgian prose. He owns stories, novels, essays. Russian readers are familiar with G. Dochanashvili from the books “There, Behind the Mountain”, “Song Without Words”, “I Will Give You Thrice”, etc. In this book, as in the previous ones, all his works are united by a common theme - the theme of goodness, love, service to art. This included both the writer’s early works, such as “The Case”, “The Man Who Loved Literature with a Passion”, “My Buchuta, Our Teresa”, etc., as well as new ones - “Water/po/loo”, “And Frocking Bakhva has a heart,” etc. The original paper book is missing two sheets - some barbarian tore it out. Gaps are marked in the text.
