/lit/ - Literature

Slow Learner is terrible, but it does serve the purpose intended, you get a fantastic view of his evolution as a writer and you can probably learn more about writing from reading it followed by his first three novels than you can get from any non-fiction books on the topic. I wish more authors had such a well documented evolution.

>>18376527
Why did you buy a book without know what you were in for? Are you retarded?

>>18376541
I didn't buy it. My sister gave it to me saying it was good.

>>18376527
You will become a femboy

>>18376547
Oh no. Thanks for warning me anon. I will not read this book.

>>18376545

Be kind desu

I have a lot more fiction, but I don't have the will to pull it all out.

>>18376447
Very nice, you have a thing for Jünger, uh? Why is the Stahlgewittern so big?

What's the book in the middle?
>>18376527
Get away from it while you can.
>>18376586
nice

>>18376898
It is the critical edition which has all the variations (Jünger edited the text a lot) and notes from Helmuth Kiesel (who also wrote the best biography).

These are some of the books I plan on reading this summer
>>18376586
Based luso-poster. Are those books on the middle ages good?

>>18378305
All the portuguese versions are extremely expensive, out of print, or were never printed. For example, Laws, the three volumes in the portuguese edition, are 60€. That is the value of the "Complete Works"
>>18378972
Yes, quite. It is four volumes organized by Umberto Eco; the texts are almost always not his (which I appreciate, since the man, most of time, can't get modern politics out of his head). They pretty unbiased, going so far, in a passage, as to describe the role that napolitan jews had in the mediterranean slave trade of the middle ages (spoiler alert: they were the main traders and promoters of it). Overall pretty good, really need to get my hands on the last two volumes.
Tell us about your books, what are they about? I only recognize Shakespear and Flaubert.

>>18376447
Wie findest du die Übersetzungen von Platon und Montaigne? Ich will mir schon eine Weile ihre Gesamtwerke besorgen, aber ich kann mich nie für eine Übersetzung entscheiden.

You can guess how he started

>>18379691
Were the texts written originally in Italian? I might try to snatch a copy too.
>Tell us about your books, what are they about? I only recognize Shakespear and Flaubert.
They're mostly Latin American literature. The ones on the left are mostly contemporary except for Salarrué (a Salvadorian costumbrista writer) and Valencia (who ha been getting attention for political reasons). Other than that Felisberto Hernández is a sort of wandering Surrealist writer from Uruguay and Luisa Valenzuela I feel is one of his followers, although her work is much more political. I'm most excited for Palinuro de México though, is the first Mexican book I know of that follows the style of Gargantua et Pantagruel, of which I'm really into. Gamboa is one of the better-known Naturalist writers to come from LatAm, I've read 3/4 already of the book and while I can appreciate it's not really for me.

New-ish to reading. This is what I have planned for the summer. Trying to read everyday as I never used to.

To me is the fact that it's in a single volume and... is cheaper.

>>18382373
not op, but I have the same wbg, 6. Auflage though which has blue covers. It's kinda annoying how the greek text is a photo copy of the french les belles lettres.
Got mine second hand - from zvab probably.

Got new books, still reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. New to reading and maybe should've start with something light. I enjoy reading it though even if I have to reread the chapters to understand what he's trying to say.
