This book a testimony to a small and almost unknown country lost amidst the mountains of the Caucasus, green with wild woods and unexplored forests, a land of over three hundred villages untouched by time and just two cities, capitals at different times. A country that is extraordinary for its history, the great beauty of its unspoiled nature and its deep and genuine Christian faith.

The purity of its proud and gentle people is equal to the purity of the air they breathe. Their hospitality is legendary. A people invaded many times over the centuries, sometimes defeated but never bowed. The baking of bread goes on until evening and the streets are filled with its scent.
