The Crimea is a funny old place. Last vestige of the Goths, possible Anglo-Saxon colony.. interesting stuff. Makes me wonder if those peoples ever met. They might have at least had a common ground for communication. I don't know enough about the area to know how closely they were geographically. It might make a wonderful novel is any aspiring writers feel like using it as a basis.
- danohu 9y agoNot quite the Crimea, but you might like the novelist Amin Maalouf. He primarily writes historical novels set in the medieval Islamic world -- with protagonists who travel a lot, so you see some of the (more-or-less accurate) interactions of different places and people. 'Samarkand' is my favourite of his novels, or 'Leo the African' is probably his most well-known.
