Lecture: “Paustovsky in Batumi”

Lecture: “Paustovsky in Batumi”

On Tuesday, December 23, we continue our lecture series about writers who left their mark on Batumi.
This time, the focus will be on Konstantin Paustovsky, who lived in the city for nearly a year.

Topics of discussion:

• Is it true that Paustovsky was unfaithful to his pregnant wife in Tbilisi?

• How is Paustovsky connected to Mikhail Bulgakov and Osip Mandelstam?

• What does the writer have in common with Faust?

• Is it possible not to be late in Batumi?
