Abstract

How does a writer's productivity change while staying in the homeland versus in emigration?

To clarify this, we have selected Stephane Kasradze's works, who worked very productively in his homeland in the 1920s, and after going into emigration, he created his first text immediately upon crossing the border.

The research is based on the analysis of the writer's known and some unknown texts. I believe this will interestingly present the process and results of the scientific research.
