Dawit Kldiashvili
Dawit Kldiaschwili ( Georgian დავით კლდიაშვილი; born August 29, 1862 in Seda Simoneti , Terdschola municipality ; † April 24, 1931 ibid) was a Georgian writer, storyteller and playwright.
Life
Dawit Kldiaschwili came from a small noble family. He is one of the pre-eminent writers of the fading critical realism in Georgia. His works relentlessly criticize the so-called autumn princes, the representatives of the run-down, survived aristocracy. He is an excellent stylist with a fine sense of humor. His short novel Samanishvili's Stepmother was published in 1896. It is one of the Georgians' favorite pieces and is repeatedly performed as a play.
Dawit Kldiaschwili still influences Georgian writers today, among them Micho Mossulishvili , who dedicated the miniature Missing Light (for Dawit Kldiaschwili) to him.
