Biography

Eristavi was born in Kakheti on 1824, Georgia, in the Russian Empire. He attended a school for the children of the nobility in Tbilisi, graduating in 1845. In 1846, he took up a position as a civil servant.

Writing in the Georgian language, Eristavi described the life and manners of the Georgian people in poetry, short stories, plays, and ethnographic essays.
