Editor's Note:
Romanas „Aštuntas gyvenimas (Brilkai)" sukėlė didelį šurmulį literatūros pasaulyje, sulaukė teigiamo kritikų įvertinimo, o skaitytojų visame pasaulyje buvo pramintas literatūros klasikos „Vėjo nublokšti" gruziniškąja versija. Iš Gruzijos (Sakartvelo) kilusios autorės vokiečių kalba parašytai istorinei šeimos dramai suteiktas ne vienas Vokietijos literatūrinis apdovanojimas, o jos vertimas į anglų kalbą 2020 m. pateko į Tarptautinės Bookerio premijos ilgąjį sąrašą.XX a. pradžia, Tbilisyje gyvena klestinti šeima. Jai sėkmę atnešė ypatingas karšto šokolado receptas, sukurtas po kelionių Europoje, perduodamas iš kartos į kartą ir saugomas kaip karinė paslaptis. Įspėjimas naudoti jį itin atsargiai – ne šiaip užgaida: tai šokoladas, sukeliantis ekstazę, bet paliekantis labai kartų poskonį...Stasia, paveldėjusi tėvo receptą, iš saulėtosios Gruzijos keliauja į šiaurę, į Sankt Peterburgą, ieškoti savo vyro Simono, kuris, vos spėjęs ją vesti, pragaišo Rusijos platybėse. Taip epinio pasakojimo gijos ima driektis nuo Tbilisio, Sankt Peterburgo ir Maskvos iki Berlyno, Vienos ir Londono, o Stasios istorija – tik pirmas pasakojimas apie didelę, bet pasmerktą meilę, kuri lyg šokoladas – iš pradžių kvaitulingai saldus, paskui apkarsta.Viena karta keičia kitą, šeima gyvena neaprėpiamose ilgesio ir netekčių platybėse, persekiojama praeities aidų ir atspindžių. Pasauliui patiriant vieną sukrėtimą po kito, keičiasi ir šios istorijos personažai, pasirodo ir vėl išnyksta, o kartu su jais keliaujantis skaitytojas gali džiaugtis knyga, kuri ir sukrečia, ir moko, ir dar kartą leidžia patirti, koks trapus ir koks didingas gali būti žmogaus gyvenimas.
