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.
No worries. Lemmy is unfortunately sometimes

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.
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.

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.
