- "MOST writers would kill for Nicholas Tchkotoua’s romantic pedigree."
Essential reading for anyone interested in the Caucasus, "Timeless" will sit on your shelf between "Ali & Nino" and "The Sabres of Paradise". A stunning achievement - not least because the author wrote this, his only novel, in English, his fifth language - this is a story of high romance with a wonderful caste of characters, passionate, intense and vividly alive. First published in 1949, "Timeless" is a rediscovered gem for which we have to thank Mta publications. Highly recommended.
- This passionate story of love between a Georgian man and a Russian woman skilfully displays the spirituality of someone falling in love 'for the first time and the last time in my life.' It is also the first ever internationally published novel written by a Georgian.
Prince Shota d'Iberio of Georgia returns to his country after an education abroad to find himself swept away, not only by the staggering beauty of his snow-capped homeland, but also the Russian Princess Taya. Their love is a stirring allegory of youth set in the last years of the 19th century. The action moves between Paris, Tbilisi, Davos, and the remote Caucasus mountains, while asking that important question of love - is its first taste indeed "timeless?" -
