The Fateful Events of 1993 in Abkhazia and the Modern Georgian Novel (Sergo Tsurtsumia – “ The Year oh the Fire Rooster”)

Abstract

The images depicting the tragedy that unvoldet in Abkhazia in the 90s of the last century were reflected in many artistic works, both poetic and prose, dramaturgical or documentary texts with different ranges and degrees showing the sources of this tragedy and the tragic results. Sergo Wsurtsumia’s novel “The Year of the Fire Rooster” is distinguished from the artistic works created in recent years not only in terms of realistic portrayal of problematic nuances, but also in their generalized understanding and accurate representation of the logical development of events, because the motivation for creating such a text is due to the author’s experience as an eyewitness and active participant in the war.
