I do read a lot, but I have never seen that one :)!

The answer is not totally wrong though....but my book is much better known. If this helps: I could also have presented it as a more or less classic movie, a TV series, or even a movie 'in production' :)

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne?? Although I don't see how the arrow being green has anything to do with it, Wikipedia tells me it was adapted to both a television series and a film.

Nope..

The direction of the arrow is more important than its colour, but since you can read green/red as yes/no, go/do-not-go, good/bad etc. , I thought green was more appropriate :).

There is a clue in the 'map' part of the globe as well....

Is it "Out of Africa" by Isak Dinesen (the pseudonym of Danish Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke), first published in 1937?

(I tend to doubt it, :doubt: because I'm not sure if changing the arrow color has anything to do with this one, either. Nor am I aware of a related TV series.)

Ngggghh I've got a very strong feeling of knowing what it is, but I just can't seem to output the right key words in Google search!

Something to do with the "Axis of Evil"?

There's a book called "Swimming up the Tigris", but probably not very well-known, not even talking about a TV series ....

Edit: it could be "Gilgamesh" by Stephen Mitchell ?

No, but the "form" of that title resembles mine....

Sort of the right area, but the geographical reference is to a much older place (though the story of the book only takes us back about a hundred years or so :))

An even older place than he lived in :)

OK, forget about the colour of the arrow :lol:! I just wanted to make sure the red arrow wasn't read as 'don't go there, because it's not there', but obviously I shoudn't have worried!

So that blue part of the map wasn't a reference to "the flood" after all, no need to look for books about Noah either ?

Couldn't it just be "Out of Babylon" ?

No, the black part just meant "wrong part of the earth".

It's not "Out of Babylon" though ;).
