No worries. Lemmy is unfortunately sometimes

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.

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.
