Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Welcome to Georgia in the Caucasus! David Gorji, an American of Caucasus Georgian descent, embarks on a journey to explore his ancestral roots, uncovering a breathtaking land and its warm-hearted people. His enthusiasm for this reclaimed homeland shines through in his engaging narrative, rich with the country’s history, culture, and ancient winemaking traditions. The author invites readers to join him in discovering Georgia, known in ancient times as Iberia, celebrated for its extensive history and diverse landscapes. Despite being less than one one-hundredth the size of Western Europe, Georgia boasts a remarkable variety of climate zones. Within hours, one can transition from subtropical warmth to skiing in the Caucasus Mountains or relaxing by the Black Sea to reflecting in the arid deserts of the continental climate. The significance of Georgia is further highlighted by its contribution to winemaking; the word "wine" in many languages, including English, originates from the Georgian "ghvino," underscoring the country's status as the universal cradle of winemaking. Gorji’s exploration reveals not just a place, but a vibrant culture and a deep connection to heritage.
