Northern Caucasus in Western Literature

[Simon Beattie]

I thoroughly recommend Ali and Nino, by Kurban Said, which is a beautiful
novel.  The story of the book is fascinating, too.  It was published in
Vienna in 1937 (Ali und Nino), banned by the Nazis, and only resurfaced, in
English translation, in 1970.  The author, aka Essad Bey, or Lev Nussimbaum,
is the subject of the 2005 biography, The Orientalist, by Tom Reiss.

Dear SEELANGS, 

 

I'm trying to find instances of the (Northern) Caucasus being mentioned in
Western literature, preferably fiction, although memoirs and nonfiction
would also work. So far I've only come across Peter Balakian's "Black Dog of
Fate."

 

Any references are appreciated! Please reply to megojones at gmail.com. 

 

Thank you very much--

 

Sincerely,
