    Good. It's your turn now.

    Snows of Kilimanjaro was also on my list. The others two were:

    The castle from the Carpathians by Jules Verne
    From Apennines to the Andes by Edmondo de Amicis

    There's also a really great book or 2 by a remarkable fellow who wrote a number of amazing books, Eric Newby:
    "A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Short...the_Hindu_Kush

    and his misadventures dropping into Italy as a British commando and getting captured by the Nazis and escaping and about freezing to death and being saved by a brave Italian farmer---and he ends up marrying the farmers daughter:
    Love and War in the Apennines.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_an..._the_Apennines.

    OK Name a noble prize winner's novel that has a river's name in it which the area and peoples are a currently hot topic..

    Hint: the river was considered the border between 2 continents

    I have no idea really but there is supposed to be a river in South America which is supposed to be the border between
    Central (belongs to North) America and South America. I definitely don't know who the author is.

    As for the river I guess is that there is a river named Rio Grande and that it, is the said border river between North and South America.

    I would guess the countries are Russia and Ukraine, which would be the Dnieper river, still wracking my brain to see if I can recall a novel with Dnieper in the title though.

    "was" and "continents".. And Tavarich Anfield is close but no cigar...wrong river.

    Och det är inte Slussen

    Rio Grande is border for 2 countries part if the way but Mexico is in North America.

    Besides what's the TITLE of the book with the name of this river in the title.

    I bet zako85 knows in a heartbeat..
