Ali and Nino
In her book "Ali and Nino – Literary Robbery!", Tamar Injia claims that "" by Kurban Said (Austria, 1937) is extensively plagiarized from, and owes much of its existence to "The Snake's Skin" by Grigol Robakidze (Germany, 1928). By comparing passages from both novels (35 comprehensive extracts), the author argues that sections from "Ali and Nino: A Love Story" are copied from "The Snake's Skin". Additionally, by analyzing the literal parallels in both novels, the author shows "side-by-side" similarities in content, namely repeated stories, myths, legends, characters and plot structures. The specific passages in question relate to excursions that Ali and Nino made to Tbilisi and to Iran.
