I am looking for literature that glorifies the patriarchal, extended family, and upholds traditional gender roles.
Tanakh.
The Talmud
>>25288707Not Jewish, please.
>>25288671You're going to end up with something like biedermeier, which is really just a trad reaction to romanticism. People assume these things to be normal, and don't write about them / try to give them cultural representation, unless somebody is actively rocking the boat. In which case it's better to read books on how and why the boat was being rocked.
>>25288671A Dream of Red MansionsThs Brothers Karamazov
>>25288753In what way is The Brothers Karamazov for the patriarchal family?
>>25288671Unexpected picture to see on /lit/ lol, what nostalgia.
>>25288769I guess it demonstrates what a father is not.There are a lot of negative examples like that, I struggle to think of a book describing a nuclear family functioning properly. You are thinking of something like an american sitcom from the 60s, which is just about as gross as biedermeier is.
>>25288777Are you Indian?
>>25288781No but I grew up there.
Phew I don't know buddy, that's pretty hard to find. Did you also want a book with words?
>>25288817And what could you say?
