Alexander Kazbegi is one of the most popular Georgian writers of the second half of the 19th century. His name forever took its rightful place next to the immortal names of the classics of Georgian literature - Nikolai Baratashvili and Ilya Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli and Vazha Pshavela. Alexander Kazbegi continued and developed the glorious patriotic, democratic and realistic traditions of his great predecessors and older contemporaries - this is the guarantee of his unfading glory, this gained him immortality in the hearts of his people. Heavisbury Gocha with his own hand executes the son of Onisime, who, carried away by a meeting with his beloved, unwittingly betrayed his own, allowing the enemy to attack them.
