Abstract

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the cast down of the East European totalitarian systems, the breakdown of the Soviet Union – this is just the basis that determined the postmodernist eschatology. In the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century the historical-political discussion and critical narrative became very actual, or it can be said, even popular. Consequently, it is clear that literary processes would not be indifferent to these painful changes.

In the end of the twentieth century Georgian literary processes, notwithstanding some kind of literary crisis, still stand out for their traditional, lasting through many centuries steady experience.
