Tbilisi. Biography of the City

Georgia is the homeland of the noble Mimino and the treacherous Medea. A land of proud women and brave men, a place of polyphonic singing, lezginka dances, carved wooden balconies, bustling bazaars, and cozy courtyards. And the quintessence of all this is Tbilisi, not just a capital, but a symbol of Georgian culture. This book is an attempt to tell how and why people began to live here, what happened to them, and what traces history has left on the face of the city. It will talk about neighborhoods and individual houses, but first and foremost, it is about the people who made this city what it is and thanks to whom an amazing spirit reigns here — the spirit of Tbilisi.
