As we already have connections including Opera and Film, it must be possible to develop a Literature connection too. I'm still trying to find a right angle on that one, as there of course are books published about everything. A link could be: Books by Nobel Prize winning authors.

Examples:
- Istanbul: Istanbul, memories of a City by Orhan Pamuk.
- Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge: The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić.

Any ideas for a third? Or other Literature related connections?

A third:
- Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz, on Historic Cairo

Rudyard Kipling - Nobel Prize for Literature 1907
"Plain Tales from the Hills" . Many set in Simla - the latest addition via the Kalka-Shimla (as it is now called!) Railway to the "Mountain Railways of India"

Author/Date of Nobel Prize/Title of Relevant work/WHS involved if not clear

Hemingway (1954) -"Snows of Kilimanjaro"

GB Shaw (1925) - "St Joan" - Reims

TS Eliot (1948) - "Murder in the Cathedral" - Canterbury

Thomas Mann (1929) - "Buddenbrooks" - Lubeck

Marquez (1982) - "Love in the time of Cholera" - "fictional" place but probably Cartagena

Neruda (1971) "Alturas de Macchu Picchu"

Agnon (1966) "Only Yesterday" among others - Jerusalem
