Buried Vine - Dzhadzhanidze M., Yurkevich A. (9789660385290)

In August 1992, the Georgian young man Malkhaz, a student at five minutes, goes home to Abkhazia to spend his last days with his family on the threshold of “adult” life in Tbilisi. However, the outbreak of war between Georgia and Abkhazia instantly makes the teenager a prisoner of his native place, tears him away from his loved ones and forces him to take a survival exam every day. Malkhaz and his three friends together search for a path to freedom and find themselves in extreme situations when they, yesterday's schoolchildren, can only rely on themselves. The life of the young Georgian generation of the 1990s was overshadowed by the war between Georgia and Abkhazia, when people who had lived together for many decades turned into irreconcilable enemies. How long does it take to forget this? So the heroes of the novel ask themselves: does the war end with the last shot?
