Abstract

The author's English summary from the article:

Key words: New Book, Comparative literature.

The Georgian Association of Comparative Literature implements many important projects - prepares and publishes the type of works, the importance of which is irreplace- able for the scientific space and educational institutions. „Comparative Literary Studies. Guide and Anthology“ was prepared and published by this association on the basis of the Department of Literary Theory and Comparative Studies of the Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature. The book consists of two parts: the first part combines the works of Georgian re- searchers, which are reliable guides in comparative studies. The second part of the book includes translations of texts that are considered to be landmarks in comparative studies.

It can be said that this is the first precedent of publishing a book prepared in this field in Georgia, when the works of Georgian researchers and chrestomathy texts of foreign au- thors are collected together. Due to the diversity of the themes and profound analysis „Comparative Literary Studies. Guide and Anthology“ is a huge achievement in Georgian literary studies. It would be of a big interest not only for Georgian literature and scholars of cultural studies of XX century but also for the youth fond of literature as well as the reader in general.
