Abstract: The main character of the picaresque genre is an archetypal figure—a cunning trickster—in world literature. This genre itself emerges during times of crisis. On the one hand, it is shaped by the era; on the other hand, it possesses a narrative quality that defines texts of this type. Telling and listening to stories of a deceitful nature serves as a universal means of coping with human existential struggles. Notable examples of such works include Sergo Kliashvili's The Adventure of Lakhundarel and Rezo Cheishvili's The Adventure of Shaliko Khvingiadze.
