The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Tbilisi is the largest city and capital of Georgia, with a population of more than 1.5 million people. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, this vibrant city is a melting pot of different ethnic groups and languages, having been fought over by rival empires and powers for centuries. This complex history of foreign dominance and control is reflected in both the literature and architecture of the city, which is a mix of Middle Eastern, Art Nouveau, Stalinist, and Modernism.
