    I want to read the schachnovelle at a later point! Looking forward to it.

    If you’re interested in the Mediterranean, I recommend Constantinople by Theophile Gautier. It’s about his visit to Istanbul in the 19. century. I think the print version is hard to come by in English, but the ebook is just a few cents.

      lol… who the fuck downvotes this comment? it’s just regular convo about books… people are really awkward.

      thx for that book recommendation. I love the turkish culture, and will put it on my list… after I’m done with the sea, the arabs and the balkans.

        No worries. Lemmy is unfortunately sometimes Like Reddit. Comments get downvoted just because of opinions.

        I wish you the best and really hope that people learn to live in peace and that there are consequences for evil goverments. It doesn’t look that at the moment, but you can hope.
