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.
I wanted him to write out his opinions. Since COVID I’m done with people who just throwing a link to me and say educate yourself.
it’s not their opinion… it’s facts.
So, you rather accept someone else’s opinion, instead of building your own one? That’s how the Nazi-regime started in the first place.
No, I just don’t like to get some bullshit link with the words educate yourself.
I can send you some books to your home address, if you prefer it that way?
No, but please give me the titles with authors.
The great sea - A human history of the Mediterranean by david abulafia.
It’s not Palestine/Israel specific, but a “broad” history about the Mediterranean .
Honestly, thanks. I make sure to check this one out. I like reading about history.
I recommend you the last book I have read: the world of yesterday by Stefan Zweig.
Oh, I’ve read “schachnovelle” from him, back in school, which brought me into chess 😅
the sea is a very long book… I’m just half way through, although I’m not much of a reader.
