    Don't just see the sights―get to know the people. 
     
    Nestled in the Caucasus Mountains at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia plays a geopolitical role far greater than its size would suggest. Its strategic location has been both a blessing and a curse, however. Once a battlefield of the Christian and Muslim worlds, today it is caught between its EU aspirations and its location in Russia’s backyard. 
    The ancient Silk Road brought the best of the world to Georgia, which has a rich and dramatic historical heritage, exquisite cuisine and world-renowned wines, authentic folk music and dances, and an educated and hospitable people for whom indulging a guest is more akin to a religious practice than a simple duty. 
    This new edition of Culture Smart! Georgia guides you through the past and present realities of this unique country, and offers practical insights into the customs, values, traditions, and daily life of its people. Visitors who immerse themselves in Georgian culture will find the experience deeply rewarding, and that the welcome of those they meet along the way will far exceed their expectations. 
     
    Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

    'Fantastic' – James O'Brien 
    The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare 
    'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend 
    The brightest heaven of pretention! 
    A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act, 
    Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’ 
    So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play. 
    In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party. 
    In The Tories: A Tragedy, Morris uses his expertise in arts, theatre, and playwriting to create a humorous and poignant portrayal of conservatism. This non-fiction novel is a must-read for anyone interested in politics, ideologies, and the process of performing. 
    For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Hugo Vickers (Malice in Wonderland), Anne Glenconner (Whatever Next?), Rory Stewart (The Marches), and The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth).
