Description
This is, in brief, the story of a swindler, a Georgian Felix Krull, or perhaps a cynical Don Quixote, named Kvachi Kvachantiradze: womanizer, cheat, perpetrator of insurance fraud, bank-robber, associate of Rasputin, filmmaker, revolutionary, and pimp. Though originally denounced as pornographic, Kvachi's tale is one of the great classics of twentieth-century Georgian literature--and a hilarious romp to boot.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
"Kvachi is . . .an international con-man, through whose eyes we see Europe and Russia as nothing but a rogue's hunting ground . . .The abrupt, sardonic prose brims over with inventiveness." —The Literature of Georgia
