Remarkable novel about an Austrian musicologist's musings about Orientalism (the representation of Asia, especially the Middle East, in a stereotyped way that is regarded as embodying a colonialist attitude) in European culture, but particularly in music. The author gathers together numerous composers, poets, historians, translators, and adventurers all in a glorious tapestry of Eastern design. Not for everyone, but a stunning book.

Mehso-so

Compass is a erudite novel - where is the story of unrequited love between two researchers of the Orient just a connecting point between lectures about relevance and impact of the Orient on European literature and music. Important topic for today's world, but the form of this novel is not exactly for my reading taste.

Book eight from #ManBookerInternationalPrize longlist. My plan was to read complete longlist before shortlist will be announced on April 20, and I still have to read 4 more. So, this book for me is #dropeverythingandread
I don't know if it's worth it, but we'll see.

Beckys_Books Love the cover 8y
Simona @Suet624 Thanks! 8y
Simona @ReadingEnvy @Cinfhen I have the biggest problem with this book, and I finally found it in my local library and already translated‼️ 8y
Simona @shawnmooney 😊😊😊 It's interesting, diverse longlist, and I take it as an opportunity, to new authors (for me) and to read more challenging books (in terms of content and writing style). 8y
shawnmooney I am reading this one from the long list, and quite enjoying it: 8y
Simona @shawnmooney This is my least favorite, so far. 😳 I don't think it was bad, but a combination of fiction and non-fiction usually doesn't work for me. Although, I have a 'problem' with the last part of the story, but about that - when you're finished with the book. 8y
RealLifeReading I recently saw this book in the bookstore and what a different cover it has from this one! 8y

Also at B&N, I came across this colourful cover! Anyone read this?

Vikz I am reading it at the moment. It's a slow read but I think it might be worth it 8y
RealLifeReading @Vikz oh that's great to hear. I read the first page and the writing was beautiful but yes it seemed like it would be a slow read. 8y
Adventures_of_a_French_Reader I haven't read it, but it received a lot of good critics in France. It being a book by a French writer, be aware that themes, and the way of writing may be very different from the ones of English writers. 8y
