A Traveller's Guide to World Literature

Books encountered on sidewalks, café and hostel bookshelves, "kaz à livres", on the streets of the countries and regions that I have travelled to, or gifted by friends from near and far. A short, non-comprehensive glance at world literature that mixes some classics with lesser-known hidden gems.
