Why are you anglo and anglophile people so angry when better authors write something? You are almost demonic in nature. The rest of humanity have contributed massively to the arts, to culture, to the human soul. What have you anglo retards who only write about how much you love the king but at the same time you love freedom to rape little kids like judge holden your hero? Don't act like your novels ever cared about humanity and being human, this last sentence is not /lit/ but /his/ but you even celebrate the death of guy fawkes, the only british man who tried to save brits' souls. How much lower can you go criticizing les miserables?

>>25124627
In France we are forced to read this at like 15, grow up faggot it's a mid book from a mid author but it's famous cause it fits the leftist propaganda in our schools

Victor Hugo female feet torture scene, Hunchback of Notre Dame foot torture, female.

If you can provide even a single passage that can match:
>(The cabin; by the stern windows; Ahab sitting alone, and gazing out.)
>I leave a white and turbid wake; pale waters, paler cheeks, where’er I sail. The envious billows sidelong swell to whelm my track; let them; but first I pass.
>Yonder, by ever-brimming goblet’s rim, the warm waves blush like wine. The gold brow plumbs the blue. The diver sun—slow dived from noon—goes down; my soul mounts up! she wearies with her endless hill. Is, then, the crown too heavy that I wear? this Iron Crown of Lombardy. Yet is it bright with many a gem; I the wearer, see not its far flashings; but darkly feel that I wear that, that dazzlingly confounds. ’Tis iron—that I know—not gold. ’Tis split, too—that I feel; the jagged edge galls me so, my brain seems to beat against the solid metal; aye, steel skull, mine; the sort that needs no helmet in the most brain-battering fight!
>Dry heat upon my brow? Oh! time was, when as the sunrise nobly spurred me, so the sunset soothed. No more. This lovely light, it lights not me; all loveliness is anguish to me, since I can ne’er enjoy. Gifted with the high perception, I lack the low, enjoying power; damned, most subtly and most malignantly! damned in the midst of Paradise! Good night—good night! (waving his hand, he moves from the window.)
>’Twas not so hard a task. I thought to find one stubborn, at the least; but my one cogged circle fits into all their various wheels, and they revolve. Or, if you will, like so many ant-hills of powder, they all stand before me; and I their match. Oh, hard! that to fire others, the match itself must needs be wasting! What I’ve dared, I’ve willed; and what I’ve willed, I’ll do! They think me mad—Starbuck does; but I’m demoniac, I am madness maddened! That wild madness that’s only calm to comprehend itself! The prophecy was that I should be dismembered; and—Aye! I lost this leg. I now prophesy that I will dismember my dismemberer. Now, then, be the prophet and the fulfiller one. That’s more than ye, ye great gods, ever were. I laugh and hoot at ye, ye cricket-players, ye pugilists, ye deaf Burkes and blinded Bendigoes! I will not say as schoolboys do to bullies—Take some one of your own size; don’t pommel me! No, ye’ve knocked me down, and I am up again; but ye have run and hidden. Come forth from behind your cotton bags! I have no long gun to reach ye. Come, Ahab’s compliments to ye; come and see if ye can swerve me. Swerve me? ye cannot swerve me, else ye swerve yourselves! man has ye there. Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents’ beds, unerringly I rush! Naught’s an obstacle, naught’s an angle to the iron way!
I'll believe you and read it, even though I promised myself never to return to realism.

Ta gueule tu fais pitié sale chien, respecte toi personne n'a besoin de ton avis. La révolution a tué notre pays, victor Hugo est le gauchiste ultime qui chiale pour les inégalités pendant tout son livre. Les gens ITT ont raison. Ses poèmes ne sont pas mauvais par contre
>>
>>25124812
Hugo is a Romantic not Relaist. But Moby Dick is in a league of it's own.
>>
>>25124812
Hugo wrote actual poetry. This is """prose poetry""" for retards (americants)

Si vous aviez dit À la recherche du temps perdu, peut-être auriez-vous un point, même si je ne serais pas d’accord. C’est des bêtises pour jeunes adultes et il y a plein de livres anglais qui le surpassent.

Well for starters you can stop using a website who's default language is English.

And a faggot, read your second non English book.

>>25124817
You're French but don't know that both Rimbaud and Baudelaire wrote prose poems?
>>
>>25124802
This is so true even a self hating frog was asshurt enough to respond.
Yes, anglo literature is absolute shit now. And it shows in their politics too.
They love a rapist pedophile judge, and they get a rapist pedophile world leader.
Truly grim.

>Be a leftist Frog
>Complain that you care about the downtrotten
>Attack the one institution whose one of the main goals is to help those in need, the Catholic Church, BECAUSE you are a degenerate

This is wow, huh
>>
>>25124909
I’m right-wing but this post is stupid. Just because an institution is (legitimately) charitable doesn’t mean it’s beyond reproach. Also the Catholic Church has played very different roles in different countries. Sometimes it takes the side of the bourgeoisie and landed gentry against the workers - tries to safeguard the privileges of the rich.

Everyone is a worker. There is no such thing as a 'working class'
>>
>>25124802
The problem of /lit/, and this site in general, is that the remaining userbase it's completely divorced from imagination and things like honesty and self expression are completely alien to them. So the only thing they can do is seethe endlessly as any creative work for the most retarded reasons, making any exploration and pondering impossible and rendering exchanges completely useless. As you say, it is "demonic" in the sense that ceation is avolished, and there's only endless stagnant hell of irony and destruction creative spirit.

Althought, they can simply be bots too, and it all could be trolling from algorithm's part and we're just making fools of ourselves to try to make sense of a practical joke inside of a con game. 4chan traffic is mostly artificial nowadays, and not a single soul remains on the internet, really.

There are plenty of people who make income without working or needing to work

>>25124920
Based desu. Everyman is a worker.

>Everyone is a worker. There is no such thing as a 'working class'
Surely Karen from HR who spends all day pretending to read emails and joining inane zoom meetings is as useful and inputs the same workforce as a construction worker.

>>25124627
which translation should I read?

>>25124982
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

reading this turned me into an enemy of the poor. i used to be a socialist until I realized that bad qualities in humanity (poverty, evil, ugliness, ill health, etc) are correlated for a reason: some humans are just intrinsically bad, just as some are intrinsically good.
