Essential German literature Anonymous Mon Jun 7 13:52:29 2010 No.761542 [Reply] [Original]

Is anyone up for creating a list of essential German literature for the 4Chan literature Wiki? ( http://4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_Reading )

I guess it has to offer a lot and it is still missing on the list. Correct me if there already is one.

First suggestion:

- Buddenbrooks - Thomas Mann

i like mann. his short stories with death in venice ruled. magic mountain as well.

anything hermann hesse should be up there.

and you can't forget the master, goethe.

thus spake zarathustra i suppose by nietzche.

anything kafka

stefan zweig although i think he might've been austrian. beware of pity.

I would replace Dantons Tod with the novella Lenz. It's one of the best novellas/short stories and I think it's more accessible.
Also, Rainer Maria Rilke - Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge and maybe something by Eichendorff (Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts)?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 7 21:28:29 2010 No.763433 Might I suggest A Song of Das and Kapital by George R.R. Marx?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 8 09:17:29 2010 No.764880 >>763433 marx is good. a very influencial book

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 8 09:26:29 2010 No.764890 Gunter Grass - The Tin Drum I think it's better magical realism than 100 years... Also one of the best attempts at addressing the Nazi period which is always difficult
