This paper deals with the role and importance of the 20th-century well-known writer, Grigol Robakidze’s first novel The Snake’s Skin in the history of the Georgian-German literary relations. The Snake’s Skin was published in Germany in 1928. In that period literary activity outside the Soviet Union was very difficult. Having gone to Germany for publication of his novel Grigol Robakidze established relations with persons who worked in the literary sphere of Germany. For the translation and publication of his novel The Snake’s Skin, he entered into a correspondence with the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, the employees of the German publishing house, etc. that laid the foundation for their further cultural and literary relations. The main source of our research is Grigol Robakidze’s epistolary heritage in German language, namely, Robakidze’s letters to Stefan Zweig (preserved at Zweig archive in the University of Fredonia, the USA) and Cornelius Bergmann (an employee from Diederich’s publishing house, preserved in Germany, in the archives of Jena library). This material is in German language and it has not been studied scientifically in Georgia so far, has not yet been translated and published in Georgian. The research results of the mentioned material will be presented in the report.
