Sinossi

Tbilisi follows the Mtkvari through a narrow valley where sulfur springs, fortress walls, carved balconies and modern towers occupy the same unsettled horizon. Its beauty comes not from a single style, but from the visible friction of Georgian, Armenian, Persian, Russian, Soviet and contemporary worlds.

Across forty original reflections, this compact literary portrait moves from Abanotubani, Narikala and Metekhi to shared courtyards, caravanserais, Rustaveli Avenue, the Dry Bridge, markets, bread ovens, polyphonic song, wine and the city's long struggle for independence. Legend is distinguished from documented history, while monuments are returned to the daily lives around them.

A Little Book of Tbilisi is not a conventional guidebook. It is an intimate, researched companion for readers who want to understand how a capital shaped by arrival, destruction and hospitality continues to reinvent itself without erasing every previous layer.
