| Summary: | Goderdzi Chokheli is an outstanding writer of the 20th century,
whose works deeply and interestingly reflected the customs
characteristic of the life of his native area - Gudamakri. He was a
writer, poet, director, and playwright. Goderdzi Chokheli's creative
heritage is diverse, as a writer he is distinguished by his writing
manner and subject matter, his works are nourished by folk motifs,
and he brings heroes from myths and legends, which establishes an
original style of writing in Georgian writing of the postmodern era.
Goderdzi Chokheli's works widely reflected pagan and
Christian beliefs and ideas, the works are imbued with the spirit and
aspirations that nourish the author's native corner -
Gudamakari.The short story «Khtisshvili», which we are dealing with,
contains a mixture of pagan and Christian beliefs and ideas,
observation revealed that the author reconciles the two beliefs,
ideas, and narrative.
The characters created by the writer are often mythological
heroes, as well as in the story «Khtisshvili», whose hero is little
Zosime. He will live in heaven at the end of the story, like the
mythological gods. The corner of lighted candles is a paradigm of
the Lord, by the power of whose light Zosimus, clothed in unearthly
light, joined the company of heavenly apostles. According to the
worldview of Goderdzi Chokheli, the place of the chosen ones is only
in heaven. This is how the author portrayed the face of «Khtisshvili»
in the story. The mythical perspective, the confusion of the real and
the unreal once again presents Goderdzi Chokheli as an
outstanding writer and thinker of the twentieth century. A kind of
anachronism, the transfer of the past into reality, which is the way
of life of the Gudamakrs, skillfully turns into the legacy of the artistic
text, thus immortalizing this event. |
