You need to research the literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I recommend Meša Selimović and his work "Tvrđava" (Fortress) or "Derviš i smrt" (Dervish and Death).

For Turkish literature I’d recommend “Calikuşu” by Reşat Nuri Güntekin, it’s a classic, kind of similar to Anne of green gables in its genre. My mom read it as a teenage girl and was obsessed just like millions of other girls (and boys maybe). It’s also has two shows based on the novel (one is a classic old one, and one is a new Turkish drama). I watched both and was obsessed when younger. Still love the story dearly! As for Russian literature, I’d recommend “Oblomov”, it’s my favorite classic, but many people like it more as an audiobook, cause it can be slow at times, but give you so much to think about. Thanks for the video! 🥰

Hi Emma! If you ever find yourself wanting to read a book from a Belgium writer, I highly reccomend 'The angel maker' from Stefan Brijs. It's one of my favorite books by an author from my country. A very short description: "After many years Doctor Victor Hoppe returns to the small village he grew up in. His return after an absence of many years generates a lot of interest - and suspicion - as he is accompanied by three triplets, all of whom share the same physical deformity as the doctor - a hare lip. These children are very quiet and are rarely seen in the village. But with time, and a series of apparently miraculous cures and tales of the wife he lost, the doctor begins to win the villagers over."

No offence because I know you did this with good intentions but your definition of books coming from a country is a bit confusing. Nnedi Okorafor was born and raised in the States. Yes, she is Nigerian-American and writes afro-futuristic books but I wouldn't call her books as "coming from Nigeria." Honestly same with Alex Michaelides. Yeah he was born in Cyprus but he was raised and educated in the UK. I don't think you can consider The Silent Patient coming from a Cypriot perspective. It literally takes place in London

@jessatlife 3 года назад

I agree that this should be clarified. Also, it’s easier for a book written by an American (regardless of their heritage) to get published and noticed in an anglophone community. Many books from these other countries never even get translated, or they have limited prints and almost zero marketing, so their stories don’t reach the rest of the world. Wherever possible, we should strive to read authors born and raised in the chosen countries, writing from these unique perspectives, and elevate their voices. For example, this is a problem in my country, Puerto Rico. Most of the “Puerto Rican” books available in English aren’t really Puerto Rican. They’re written by people with Puerto Rican heritage, and are usually based in the mainland US, like the barrios in NYC. Their experiences, though valid, do not equate ours back on the archipelago. That’s my opinion, at least.

@ban1o 3 года назад

@@jessatlife Yeah I think that my only issue. I'm Nigerian American and there are a lot Nigerian based authors to that would have a much different perspective than a Nigerian American. I love Nnedi Okorafor, and I know her identity as Nigerian American is important to her so this is definitely not a diss to her but I just don't think you can consider her books as "Nigerian" books. She was born, raised and educated in United States. Definitely has more opportunities than a Nigerian author born and raised in Nigeria. Also for example Remote Control (the book Emmie selected). takes place in Ghana, not Nigeria.

It’s got a very unique writing style but it’s so good! - If you want to read some children’s fiction from Sweden I’ll of course have to say anything by Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Longstocking is probably the one I read the most during my childhood.

Hi, Emmie! Love this iniciative 😍 I'm from Argentina so your video really got me into investigating which of all the awesome books from my country have been translated, and I found out that one of THE BEST nouvelles (and I'm not the only one who thinks so, I swear) is available in English. The book is "Fever dream" by Samanta Schweblin. Just a warning: if you start it, you won't be able to stop till the end 🙃 A big hug to you!

Anne of Green Gables is one of the series that formed me as a little girl, and I keep coming back to it every few years to enjoy it all over again. I haven't read Emily of New Moon yet but I need to, and just the other day I found some of L.M. Montgomery's short story collections based in PEI at my local second hand book store so I snapped them all up! When I saw Anne as your "currently reading" on Goodreads a couple weeks ago I thought for sure it would be a re-read, because you have SUCH an Anne vibe.

@jovanabozic404 3 года назад

You should definitely check out Serbian literature! Rabies by Borislav Pekić is a good start. Also novels by Ivo Andrić.

@null33334 3 года назад

Highly recommend Ivo Andrić. If Emmie decides to pick Serbia, I would also add Migrations by Miloš Crnjanski.

@poslekise685 3 года назад

Considering she is into stories with a mythological background, I think she would enjoy Andrić as well.

@user-zv1qp6cp9y 3 года назад

I think the golden fleece by pekić would also be perfect for emma it's a family history through centuries intertwined with mythology

Ivo Andrić is phenomenal! Just read The bridge on the Drina 2 months ago and absolutely adored it. Sending greetings from Bulgaria🇧🇬

It’s so good to know that you liked a Brazilian book! Please read “Dom Casmurro” by Machado de Assis, you’re gonna love it!

@charlysydow5647 2 года назад

You should read "Human Acts" by Han Kang. Its about the Gwangju- demonstrations in the 1980s and it's breathtaking.

Hi :) If you're looking for hungarian books, I highly recommend these: Gyorgy Dragoman - The Bone Fire Magda Szabo - The Door (I also recommend the movie based on this book starring Helen Mirren) Antal Szerb - The Pendragon Legend Antal Szerb - Journey by Moonlight These are all very popular in Hungary, especially Szerb's books, they are cult status favourites among young adults, mainly Journey by Moonlight because of its deeply insightful portrayals of emotional breakdown, indecision, melancholy, becoming an adult and how childhood memories affect our everyday life. Despite these topics, it's actually kind of a light read / comfort read :)

@markoplantak4110 3 года назад

If you ever decide to read something Croatian, I would recommend Croatian Tales of Long Ago (Priče iz davnine) by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić. It is a fantasy short story collection and I think you'd love it. :)

About a week and a half ago I randomly decided I wanted to try to read a book from every country in the world without realizing you were doing this challenge! I just bought a book titled The Tongue's Blood Does Not Run Dry: Algerian Stories by Assia Djebar because Algeria was the first random country to pop into my head. I'm so excited to get started!

@sitiannisa3036 2 года назад

Hi, Emma! I've heard Beauty is a Wound by Eka Kurniawan (Indonesian's author) is a great book. Some say, you would like this book if you like One Hundred Years of Solitude. I've noticed (if i am not mistaken xD) that you haven't read any book from my country, Indonesia. So, I hope you would add this one to your to be read books.

@shafiashaan4331 3 года назад
