Ali and Nino
Tamar Injia's book "Ali and Nino – Literary Robbery!" demonstrates that portions of "Ali and Nino" were "stolen" from the 1926 novel "The Snake's Skin" ("Das Schlangenhemd") by Georgian author Grigol Robakidze. (It was published in Georgian in 1926 and in German in 1928. Injia analyzed the two books, found similar and identical passages, and concluded that "Kurban Said" (whom she identifies as Essad Bey) deliberately transferred passages from Robakidze's novel.
