???? Radio "Liberty" podcast "Books" under the rubric "Georgian" offers a conversation about the masterpiece of Georgian folk poetry, the ballad "The Poem of the Tiger and the Young Man", which was first recorded by Davit Khizanishvili in 1887, and in full - by Vakhtang Kotetishvili in 1927. ???? The ballad consists of two parts, the first is about hunting and a deadly clash, the second - about the mother's lamentation and the search for the enemy's mother. Just as Agamemnon killed Artemis's divine deer, so a naked servant killed the divine Berkhen deer, which ultimately led to a confrontation with the tiger. ???? Whose child is a person - the mother's or nature's? Why do the "sly"-eyed tiger and the "unintelligent" young man fight? Why does the heart of a mother whose child has died reach out to the tiger's mother? Why is bravery more important than peace? - we will talk about this in the program.
