Medieval Georgian epic poem with much adventure, fighting, passion and intense male friendship (see miniature above). All set further east than what I am used to: Arabia, India, Persia, Central Asia and Cathay (China). An international classic!

Dilara Also, Georgia is voting today and things are a bit tense. Fingers crossed that things don't escalate...
ETA: To clarify, I mean the country of Georgia in the Caucasus region, formerly part of the USSR.

nanuska_153 From my experiences in Georgia they tend to be so intense that you don't know when "homo" and when "no homo" ? 2w
Dilara @nanuska_153 😂All feelings are turned up to 11 in this book but I'd just assumed it was because of the form - epic poetry - not the local culture... (edited) 2w
