This is an automatically translated description

The thrilling story by Georgian writer Kondrat Tatarishvili (1872-1929), The Mameluke, tells of the tragic fate of the victims of the terrible scourge of feudal Georgia - the slave trade. The little Georgian boy Khvicha, kidnapped by robbers and taken to Egypt, becomes the famous commander of the Mamelukes (white slaves), Mahmud Bey, and meets his tragic end in a battle with the Napoleonic army. Heard from the lips of the wounded Venetian centurion, the dying cry in his native language, "Wai nana", instantly revives the forgotten homeland, parents, and childhood friends before the eyes of Khwychi-Mahmud. And in the Venetian killed by his own hand, he recognises the son of fellow slaves Rezo and Salome, sold to France.

« "A brilliant historical etching created by the hand of a Renaissance master," called the novel "Mameluke" by the outstanding Georgian poet Tikian Tabidze. The reader can personally verify the validity of this statement.
