Georgian-Polish Literary Relations and the Conspiracy of 1832

Abstract

Georgian-Polish political, economic, and literary-cultural relations have a long history. Despite the geographical distance between these countries, the current historical, political, and economic situation in the world has led to a certain rapprochement of the peoples with these two great histories. Georgian-Polish cultural relations especially strengthened, diversified, and reached a new height in terms of quantity and artistic mastery in the late 30s of the 19th century and the following era. The representatives of the creative Polish intellectuals who moved to Georgia tried in every way to convey their literary ideas created in Georgia to their compatriots in Poland. From the collected materials, it can be seen without any doubt that a great spiritual kinship was established between one of the best parts of Polish society who immigrated to our country and Georgians. It is interesting to know that the Poles who immigrated to our country created not only Georgian, but also the “Caucasian flow of Polish poetry and prose”. Even among the creative samples of Poles who immigrated within this framework, their works will be outstanding and unique. In our deep belief, among the rich Polish literature, interesting literary works on Georgian and non-Georgian topics can be distinguished by Polish writers and public figures who immigrated to Georgia in the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century.
