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.
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.

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.
