= Chepyzhov 34: "According to the National Library of Georgia, the edition was banned." Contains three plays performed at the Rustaveli National Theatre, produced by i.a. Irakli Gamrekeli. "Based on Franz Marc's famous canvas, the cover of the book features the image of a tiger, which as the embodiment of the wild, plays a symbolic role in Robakidze's artistic life. The poet Tristan Tabidze wrote of him: "Robakidze cried like a wounded tiger when he spoke in public about Friedrich Nietzsche and Edgar Poe". Although the "wounded tiger" had travelled back to Georgia before Marc painted his artwork, the use of the tiger image in the design of the book wrapper might well have been his idea." (Chepyzhov).
