A Memorable Evening of History and Heritage at Prospero’s Books
2026-10-15
On October 15th, Prospero’s Books hosted an unforgettable, warm evening celebrating the launch of The First Social Democracy: The Democratic Republic of Georgia, 1918–1921.
We were deeply honored to welcome the author, Stephen F. Jones, who traveled to Georgia specifically to share this monumental release with our community. The night was filled with engaging discussions about Georgia’s rich political legacy, made even more special by the cozy, welcoming atmosphere of our courtyard and bookshop.
Author Stephen F. Jones detailed how this progressive young republic successfully blended socialism with multi-party democracy, political pluralism, and national sovereignty—decades ahead of its time. It is a definitive account of a tragic yet inspiring three-year independence that continues to shape Georgia's modern identity.
