The book is a study of beliefs and views spread in Georgia relating to everyday matters. Some of them are obsolete, while others are still popular, largely defining the existing lifestyles. The author sometimes appeals to other researchers who have collected the ethnographic material, but offers his own comments and interpretations, provides parallels from other cultures. One of the main assets of the book is that he supports the material with quotations from folklore, poetry and prose alike.
