About the author
Otar Chiladze
29 books180 followersOtar Chiladze (ოთარ ჭილაძე) was a Georgian writer who played a prominent role in the resurrection of the Georgian prose in the post-Stalin era. His novels characteristically fuse Sumerian and Hellenic mythology with the predicaments of a modern Georgian intellectual.
Chiladze was born in Sighnaghi, a town in Kakheti, the easternmost province of then-Soviet Georgia. He graduated from the Tbilisi State University with a degree in journalism in 1956. His works, primary poetry, first appeared in the 1950s. At the same time, Chiladze engaged in literary journalism, working for leading magazines in Tbilisi. He gained popularity with his series of lengthy, atmospheric novels, such as A Man Was Going Down the Road (1972–3), "Everyone That Findeth Me" (1976), "Avelum" (1995), and others. He was a chief editor of the literary magazine Mnatobi since 1997. Chiladze also published several collections of poems and plays. He was awarded Shota Rustaveli Prize in 1983 and State Prize of Georgia in 1993.[1]
Chiladze died after a long illness in October 2009 and was buried at the Mtatsminda Pantheon in Tbilisi, where some of the most prominent writers, artists, scholars, and national heroes of Georgia are buried..[2] His elder brother Tamaz Chiladze is also a writer.

'გესმის? უშენოდ ჩემი ხელები
გვანან უნავოდ დარჩენილ ნიჩბებს
და ყოველ წუთში ზღვა მეჩვენება,
მაგრამ ვეჩვევი და აღარ ვიმჩნევ.'
❤️ ჭილაძის ლიტერატურა და პოეზია მთელი ცხოვრება მეყოფა. ზოგჯერ, ვერ ვიჯერებ რომ ასეთი ადამიანი მართლა არსებობდა.

ჩემი აზრით, პოეზია არ იყო ამ კაცის საქმე და ალბათ,ათეულობით უკეთესი პოეტი გვყოლია, მაგრამ პროზა ... <3

ეს კაცი არის ჩემი გული. არა მარტო პოეზიაში. რაშიც არ უნდა გამოეხატა თავი, მაინც გაგიჟებულს შემიყვარდებოდა! .
