Krátky popis
Tony Anderson set out in the summer of 1998 to walk through
Georgia. He wanted particularly to visit the Georgian mountain
tribes - Tush, Khevsurs, Ratchuelians and Svans - to discover if
they shared a common mountain culture, and to test the old idea of
the Caucasus as an impenetrable barrier from sea to sea. From
Azerbaijan to Svaneti, Anderson found communities where the old
customs and beliefs still triumphantly survive, despite years of
Communist oppression and the terrible uncertainties since the
collapse of the Soviet Union.Throughout his journey Anderson refers
back to many other visits to Georgia, to the politics of
independence, to the war in Abkhazia and Ossetia, to the civil war
and Shevardnadze's accession to power, to the history of these
people at one of the great crossroads of the world. It remains an
abiding mystery that Georgia has managed to survive at all,
devastated time and again by the vagabond hordes from the steppes
and torn between the mighty empires that struggled over it. But
survive it has with a vibrant culture still intact and, in the
mountains, still deeply connected to its ancient ways.
