    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.
