Nino Haratischwili - A nyolcadik élet - Brilkának

"A nyolcadik élet – Brilkának" by Nino Haratischwili follows a Georgian family whose members fight for survival, happiness and love amid the storms of the twentieth century. Civil war, revolution, two world wars and the terror of Soviet rule shape the Russian-Georgian and Soviet history that forms the backdrop of this sweeping novel.

The family members sometimes cling to one another and sometimes are torn far apart and cast out. Together and separately, they try to endure the events of the century. The novel shows how great world events shape individual destinies.

Spanning several generations, the story traces the life of one family and explores the power of survival and human connection even in the hardest times. The hardcover edition with dust jacket was published by Európa Könyvkiadó in 2021 and measures 150 x 225 mm.
