From 1951-1961 he was Prose Section Manager of the literature section for “Drosha” magazine. In 1961 he commenced employment with the same role at “Mnatobi” magazine where he earned promotion to the post of Responsible Secretary which he held until 1972.
In 1949 his first work was published and from there the writer used this early success as a springboard for producing his most acclaimed works such as “The Oboe”, “The Hands”, a children’s storybook entitled “The Ten Paged Notebooks” and “The High Ceiling”, a collection of short stories which was published in 1956.
Edisher Kipiani’s trademark were the diversity of his characters which he drew from real life inspiration and juxtaposed with the writer’s unique artistic integrity and insight, never more aptly highlighted than in his novels “The Red Clouds” (1967) and “Hats In The Sky” (1971).
Edisher Kipiani also worked in the science of motion arts by penning the screenplay for “Little Knights” (1964), along with various animations. “Little Knights” went on to enjoy extended success when it was adapted for theatre and toured throughout Georgia. An audio version was also widely broadcast on Georgian Radio.
Sadly, the artist passed away prematurely, aged just 48 years old. It was largely felt that for one so talented; he departed without ample opportunity to produce what may well have been his finest works. Regardless, he has still stamped his magnificence onto the history of Georgian literature; his legacy is a strong body of literary material which is just as fondly regarded today as it was in its day.visualizza meno
