From this point of view, the two-volume book recently published by the group of authors – “Shaping of the Georgian Leftist Literature (19th and 20th centuries) ”, Tbilisi, publishing house “Mtsignobari”, 2022 is extremely important. It consists of both original works (Volume I) and the chrestomathic part (Volume II) and presents the essence of the Georgian leftist literature, its worldview and cultural-aesthetic characteristics in a new way, and clearly shows that the Georgian leftist literature is a phenomenon nourished by European values and is not influenced by the Russian narodnik movement. The fact that the problem is studied both in connection with European and Russian social-cultural events adds even more credibility to the research. “Shaping of the Georgian Leftist Literature (19th and 20th centuries)” created with modern scientific approaches is a very necessary book in terms of multiple aspects.
