About the book

Shota Rustaveli's The Knight in the Panther's Skin is the great medieval epic of Georgian literature. The poem follows the intertwined quests and friendships of heroic knights including Avtandil and Tariel, whose adventures span distant kingdoms and are driven by love, loyalty and the search for the missing Nestan-Darejan. Combining romance, chivalry and philosophical reflection, the work celebrates friendship, courage, generosity and devotion.
