Mikheil Javakhishvili
Mikheil Dzhavakhishvili(Georgian მიხეილ ჯავახიშვილი, also Dzhavakhishvili; alternatively მიხეილ ადამაშვილი, Mikheil Adamashvili; * 8 Novemberjul./ 20 November 1880greg. in Zerakwi, Tbilisi Governorate, Russian Empire; † 30 September 1937) was a Soviet writer of Georgian nationality.
Life and work
Javakhishvili’s first creative period spanned the years 1903 to 1908, during which he wrote about a dozen stories and novellas about the fate of those persecuted and oppressed by misfortune.[1]
In the 1920s, his novels brought him to greater prominence in the Soviet Union, and in 1934 he came as a Georgian delegate to the First All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers.
In August 1937, Dzhavakhishvili was tortured and on September 30, 1937, he was shot as a “counterrevolutionary terrorist.” His relatives were also subjected to repression.
The rehabilitation took place in the late 1950s.[2]
Dzhavakhishvili’s historical novel The Outlaws of Marabda was later part of school reading in the Georgian SSR.[3]
