He was born in the village of Kobiaantkari in the Dusheti District, Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of eastern Georgia. According to his autobiography, he apprenticed as a swordmaker and ornamental leatherworker. After service as a sniper in the Russian army in World War I, he immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1920s, and thereafter lived and worked in the U.S. Papashvily succeeded both as a sculptor and as an author; he was also a gifted engineer and inventor.
He married an American, Helen Papashvily (1906-1996). Together they wrote several books, often based on his life experiences. Their first book was ''Anything Can Happen'' (1945), which recounted Papashvily's experiences as a penniless immigrant. Originally published in a serialized format in ''Common Ground'' and ''Direction'' magazines, this book was co-selected for the Book of the Month Club and was a best-seller, selling more than 600,000 copies in the U.S. and 1.5 million worldwide. It was translated into 15 foreign languages, including Georgian (in 1966). It was made into a movie in 1952, starring Jose Ferrer as George and Kim Hunter as Helen. Papashvily died in 1978 in Cambria, California.
