"Caucasian Legends" by Abraam Abraamovich Gul'bat is a collection of traditional stories and myths centered around the cultural heritage of Georgia, likely written in the early 20th century. The tales delve into the historical and mythical aspects of Georgian life, featuring brave characters, including warriors and noblemen, intertwined with elements of faith and morality, showcasing the virtues of heroism, sacrifice, and devotion. At the start of this collection, the narrative unfolds through the legend of "The Rain," set in the 11th century during the reign of Tsar George I. It introduces the famed general Kaiours from the esteemed Orbeliani family, who is captured during a battle against the Greeks. Upon his return, he is joyfully greeted by his daughter, Tamara, and the narrative explores themes of love, loss, and transformation as it leads into the mystical outcomes of Bodily and spiritual sacrifices. The story foreshadows the intertwining of personal faith and communal belief, as the characters navigate through their trials, ultimately emphasizing the sanctity of their heritage and the deeper connections between life, love, and the divine.
