ReviewsIf you read one 500-page classic of Georgian literature this year, make it Mikheil's Javakhishvili's galloping 1924 epic Kvachi..., A long-buried classic of Eastern European literature in the picaresque mould of Cervantes and Fielding... Fast-paced dialogue, black humour, and camaraderie-among-thieves keeps the antics fun and ingenious. Recommended for fans of daring and rebellious literature., Kvachi is... an international con-man, through whose eyes we see Europe and Russia as nothing but a rogue's hunting ground.... The abrupt, sardonic prose brims over with inventiveness., "Kvachi is... an international con-man, through whose eyes we see Europe and Russia as nothing but a rogue's hunting ground....

SynopsisThis is, in brief, the story of a swindler, a Georgian Felix Krull, or perhaps a cynical Don Quixote, named Kvachi Kvachantiradze: womanizer, cheat, perpetrator of insurance fraud, bank-robber, associate of Rasputin, filmmaker, revolutionary, and pimp. Though originally denounced as pornographic, Kvachi's tale is one of the great classics of twentieth-century Georgian literature--and a hilarious romp to boot.
