Abstract

It has been three decades since Georgian literature fled from the Soviet system, and today world literature readers expect not only an artistic chronicle of the totalitarian Soviet empire from us, but also a literary depiction of today's universal human problems, the representation of a small country's literature before the world literature and its readers.
We should hope that in the conditions of world globalization, our national literature, under the conditions of the country's sovereignty, will continue to remain in its leading position with the support of modern technologies.
