The literary program "Tsakhnagebi" under the rubric Dichtung und Wahrheit ("Poetry and Truth") offers a conversation about the relationship between history and the main masterpiece of Georgian literature, "The Panther". The history of Georgia was reflected in Rustveli's poem in many ways, it can be said that in "Leopard" the whole world is Georgia, starting from Arabia, continuing with India and ending with Khataeti. It was not by chance that the author "tried" when talking about Avtandil, "Kma sweet and sweet-Georgian". Not the world, but the whole world is Georgia ("Tsamtsa gaijallese..."). Georgia is both sophisticated and ideal Arabia and passionate India, history is reflected in both countries. Neither the Arab nor the Indian king was given a son by God, just like the father of George the Third, Tamar and Rusudan. Rustveli directed the history of Georgia in two ways: in Arabia, Tinatin became king (as happened in Georgia, but in Arabia it happened in a more cultural way and without excesses), and in India finally Tariel became king, as it could have happened, but did not happen in Georgia, although it was "India" with tragedy and excessive bloodshed. It happened to us. Why did Shota share the history of Georgia, how his poem was received at the royal court, who is Rustveli for us - everything will be discussed in the program.
