Lana Gogoberidze’s Autobiography to Be Published in German
The autobiography of Lana Gogoberidze, one of the most prominent Georgian filmmakers, has been translated into German.
Translator David Kakabadze, the Mitteldeutscher Verlag publishing house, and the Georgian National Book Centre were involved in the translation of the book. It will be released next month under Ich Trank Gift wie kachetischen Wein (I drank poison like Kakhetian wine).
Originally published in 2003 under the name What I remember and how I remember it (in Georgian), the book outlines the director’s life and work. Gogoberidze had a successful career. She is especially well-known for her film Some Interviews on Personal Matters released in 1978. It is known as one of the first Soviet feminist films.
“In her autobiography, memories correspond in a very special, personal way with Georgian history and the world history of the 20th Century” said the Mitteldeutscher Verlag.
Mitteldeutscher Verlag is expected to release the autobiography on March 12.
