All My Georgias by Redjeb Jordania Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description All my Georgias is a book of memoirs structured as a compilation of real life stories that paint a vivid picture of the author's lifelong journey through the hectic 20th century . Redjeb Jordania is the son of the first president of Georgia, Noé Jordania, who along with his entire government, was forced to immigrate to France after the Soviet occupation of Georgia in 1921. Redjeb was born in Paris, where he grew up among the Georgian émigré colony. He later moved to the United States where he eventually settled in New York and East Hampton. His very first occasion to visit the country of his ancestors came about in 1990. That fall and the following year he had the privilege of witnessing some of the tumultuous events that led to Georgia's independence, the election of President Gamsakhurdia, and a few months later his ouster by an armed rebellion. These stories are told in a masterful manner, fascinating, sometimes comical, with historical and cultural insights as background, including: life in the Georgian émigré colony in Paris, a delirious music lesson under the bombs during WWII, living without citizenship, a New York encounter with the KGB, Georgia's road to independence, and much more. Anyone interested in how people adjust to history - or just a good story - will find this book hard to put down Sandro Kvitashvili, Rector, Tbilisi State University Details ISBN 1466473258 ISBN-13 9781466473256 Title All My Georgias Author Redjeb Jordania Format Paperback Year 2011 Pages 254 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform GEItemID:46815688; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
