P. A. Pavlenko's Letters to Maredzhan

Abstract

Eighty years have passed since the birth of the prominent Soviet writer and public figure Petr Andreevich Pavlenko. The writer's entire life was bound up with Georgia, which he described as his second homeland. This "second homeland" held a major place in the writer's work, starting with the first essays published in the newspaper Dawn of the East [Zaria Vostoka] and ending with the well-known novel Happiness [Schast'e].
