Biographical Record

Vazha-Pshavela (pen name of Luka Razikashvili) was a titan of Georgian literature whose epic poetry captured the rugged spirit, mythic grandeur, and ethical dilemmas of the Caucasian highlands.

Living most of his life in the remote village of Chargali, he combined rustic pastoral labor with profound philosophical writing, authoring masterpieces such as 'Host and Guest', 'Aluda Ketelauri', and 'The Snake-Eater'.

His works explored the tragic collision between rigid tribal traditions and universal humanitarian compassion, placing him among the greatest philosophical poets of world literature.
