The Book of Wisdom and Lies
by Zura Mchedlishvili
Description
The collection of fables by Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani (1658-1725) who served as an advisor and emissary for King Vakhtang VI of the Kingdom of Kartli. Sulkhan-Saba was also a writer, leaving behind not only timeless fables but also a full Georgian explanatory dictionary, which is still in use.
A frame story of the collection involves disputes between King Phonez, his vizier Sedrak, his eunuch Ruqa, his son Djumber, and Djumber’s tutor Leon. The characters make their statements with the aid of various fables and parables.
This edition by Sulakauri Publishing is a full collection with each story imaginatively illustrated by the artist Zura Mchedlishvili.
