The unity of time forms the solid foundation for the resilience of human consciousness. „Time is out of joint” (Hamlet), perceiving the past, present, and future in isolation, becomes a source of tragedy for both nations and individuals. In her novel „We,
Turmels” (“Chven, Turmelebi”), Tamri Pkhakadze explores mythopoetic time. The author employs universal mythological archetypes, interpreted in diverse contexts, to imbue her narrative with depth and multi-layered meaning. She effectively reveals the
hidden connections between rational and irrational, material and spiritual realms. The metaphorical and symbolic nature of the characters and artistic images encourages readers to delve beyond the surface of the work into its profound depths.
Within this novel, fairy tale and mythological „stories” seamlessly blend into the narrative flow, blurring the boundaries between reality and the metaphysical. Myth, in general, implies the eternity of a moment and the manifestation of the eternal within
that moment. The coexistence of the fleeting and the eternal is vividly portrayed in the novel. This unity is sustained by human memory, which „distributes” what it cannot hold into books and objects. The sense of the future in the novel is directly linked to
the „permanence” of this memory.
