Abstract

The work shows how the fate of the era was transformed, as if through the prism of Simon Bere­zhi­an's personal life and creativity. It was emigration that turned out to be time and space, a dimension that con­firmed the writer's national identity.

Simon Berezhian managed to overcome the vanity of existence and carry out national literary codes through the most complex political and historical formations.

The basis of Simon Berezhian's literary heritage is historical and gospel microcircuits, on which poetic reflections appear. The poet, with intense nostalgia and pain, creates an emotional and memorable linguistic-expressive space, in which verbal connotations reflecting the Georgian geographical landscape firmly imprinted in consciousness take a firm place.
