Ok, give me the most hopeless and saddest novel recommendations.
>>24749555The ending of A Farewell To Arms
Angela's Ashes.
>>24749555Flowers for AlgernonThe Tale of GenjiMadame Bovary
>>24749555>tripsChecked>Journey to the End of the Night>2666>Revolutionary Road>Blood Meridian>No Longer Human
>>24749555>The Book of Disquiet Inb4 not a real novel.A collection of fragmentary writings united by a sense of melancholy and escapism in fantasy>Tutunamayanlar (or "The Disconnected")The story of a man who goes insane trying to entangle the reasons behind his friends' suicide, as a stand-in of the story of all "disconnected" people who are ruthlessly trampled by a human society they are unable to fit in.I read the Book of Disquiet and this back to back and it buckbroke my sense of optimism in life. >Death and the Dervish The tale of a Balkan member of the Dervish order whose inner emptiness, cowardice in the face of a corrupt tyrannical government, and misguided political ambition lead to tragedy. Heavily inspired by Dostoevsky
>>24749665I’ve never heard of the third one. Gonna check it out, thanks.
>>24749678I think the author realised what suicidefuel he had made so he also wrote an alternative optimistic story ("The Fortress") about a fundamentally good and moral man finding a way to survive in such a world after suffering the trauma of war and the abuses of the powerful.
My diary desu.
