Hesse used to be among my favorite writers, but now when I try to read his work I get very bored by how contrived and repetitive it all is. Have I . . . outgrown Hesse?

Quick reminder:
If the topic of german literature comes up and anybody praises Kafka or Thomas Man, be highly alerted because you sorrounded by at least one person who a) has absolutly no taste or b) is a complete pseud who probably not even has read more then one book each of them...

And if someone praises Bertold Brecht you should remind yourself that murder is illegal, and even though Brecht is unbelievable bad and his readers are morons, getting rid of one of them isnt worth spending a lot of time in jail.

Also, a lot of germans will try to meme you into Schiller. Dont fall for it. He is no Goethe. He is not even a Klaus Mann (Klaus is still better than Thomas though). Stay away from him.


So let me tell you some german (speaking/writing) authors that are actually good:
- Heinrich Mann
- Rainer Maria Rilke
- Novalis
- Hölderlin
- Karl May
- Heinrich von Kleist

>>24932692
Thomas Mann is my fav and he has spoiled be permanently for most other literature

>>24932692
>Thomas Man
But theyre rereleasing Zauberberg for 10€

>>24932714
Can you believe it was a bestseller back in the day? As in, literally a novel that would be read and understood by the masses

>>24932692
>Also, a lot of germans will try to meme you into Schiller. Dont fall for it. He is no Goethe.
You were on such a roll and you ruin it with this? Schiller‘s pigeonholing into obscurity beyond the Ode to Joy and as a secondary name for Goethe is maybe the greatest injustice of literary history.

>>24930496
I don't read anything by Germans. Out of principle.

Looking down on May is such a common mistake among plebians.
May influenced the most important man of the 20th century as well as the entire german people.
Who influenced Schiller in the last two to threehundred years?
Not even /lit/fags jerk it to him and it would be the most obvious thing for them to shit on Goethe and shill Schiller

Thomas Mann hat keinen Geschmack. Aber die langen Sätze sind definitiv eine Leistung. Meine Mutter schreibt auch lange Sätze, wenn sie jemanden hasst. Und Thomas Mann war definitiv hasserfüllt.

Kafka. Manchen gibt er etwas. Ist halt Schattenarbeit. Er wollte auch nie veröffentlicht werden. Entsprechend.

Friedrich von Schiller ist gar nicht so schlecht. "Ode an die Freude" ist schon ein Meisterwerk. Beethoven finde ich nicht so gut dazu. Weiß auch nicht. Trifft es einfach nicht.

Wegen der anderen Autoren:
Karl May ist bekannt. War das nicht der Knastbruder? Also auch amtsbekannt.
Hölderlin... ja... ist halt sehr assoziativ.
Sind gute Autoren, die du da empfiehlst.
Ich lese nicht so viel. Ich kann, wenn ich will, sehr fein und auch klar schreiben. Aber lesen tut mir irgendwie weh. Weiß auch nicht, warum. Ich lerne lieber audiovisuell. Ich kann super im Chemielabor arbeiten. Bin kein Trottel. Aber Lesen... naja... wenn es sein muss, kann ich das schon.
