Aka Morchiladze est sans doute l'auteur géorgien contemporain de fiction littéraire le plus exceptionnel et le plus talentueux. Ses romans, qui évitent souvent le récit linéaire, plongent dans des thèmes historiques et culturels complexes avec une profonde perspicacité. Prenant au sérieux le lecteur émancipé, Morchiladze met son public au défi avec une narration complexe. Sa voix distinctive et son approche narrative en font une figure captivante de la littérature moderne.


"Originally published in Georgian as Mogzauroba Qarabaghshi by Bakur Sulakauri Publishing, Tbilisi, Georgia, 1992."--Title page verso.
An epic story in fifty-four short, refined chapters, this is the tale of an abduction and a pursuit across nineteenth-century Georgia at the time of its annexation by the Russian Empire. Evoking the delicate atmosphere of a culture all but lost to time, this is a novel of chivalry and gross misunderstanding, of love and war, as Georgian nobleman Baduna Pavneli--alleged to have killed a Russian officer--travels from Tiflis to the West searching for his missing brother, with the police forever at his heels.
