Hitler considered these 4 classics the best in world literature:- Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes- Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe- Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift- Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowewhat are your four?
>Die totenincel
was reading robinson crusoe last christmas holiday and it was boring af, just repetitive chores, had to drop it 2/3rds through
>>25333878>Uncle Tom's CabinBull-fucking-shit. Abandon the bait thread.
>>25334239>He ranked Don Quixote, along with Robinson Crusoe, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and Gulliver’s Travels, among the great works of world literature. “Each of them is a grandiose idea unto itself,” he said.- Hitler's private library : the books that shaped his life by Timothy W. Ryback
>>25333878>- Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher StoweIf this is true then Schicklgruber had garbage taste
>>25334304Yup, I don't believe it.
>>25334304Still maybe bullshit but notably you‘ve removed the phrase "best" which dramatically shifts the paradigm to saying he considered them significant in their own right which isn‘t really any kind of declaration.
>>25333878No surprise such a retard would have shit taste.
>>25333878>Hitler considered these 4 classics the best in world literature:No he didn't.Setting aside your exaggeration, "Famous person X's favourite N books" lists are often interesting but you really need to know what else they read.If someone says "Raymond Chandler is the best writer ever", and you find he has only ever read Raymond Chandler and Mickey Spillane, then his judgement is not faulty (RC > MS) but he is certainly ignorant. If he says that and he has read the whole canon, then he is less ignorant but his judgement is definitely off.Anyway, a more interesting use of this sort of list / article:Compile a list of cool (inflammatory) blurbs to put on the front of famous books.For example, using your own list:Imagine an Uncle Tom's Cabin with " "A GREAT WORK . . . A GRANDIOSE IDEA UNTIL ITSELF" — Adolf Hitler" on the cover.Stalin might be a rich source of material for this game. I seem to recall when he died they found a record of Mozart's 23rd piano concerto on his record player. Perhaps he had good taste in literature too.We know what Uncle Ted had in his cabin, but dunno if he's on record praising any of the stuff.Pol Pot? Hmm . . . he was a bit against reading and suchlike altogether.Wonder what Mussolini liked?Or what about, say, Albert Fish? Actually IIRC he was barely literate. But maybe Ted Bundy had a decent favourite book.Would be nice if Mark Chapman had something complimentary to say about Catcher.
>>25334714nice blog faggot, that wasn't the question
>According to Timothy Ryback, his collection is said to have included "first editions of works by philosophers, historians, poets, playwrights, and novelists."[3] He owned illustrated copies of Don Quixote and Robinson Crusoe, which he ranked—along with Gulliver's Travels and Uncle Tom's Cabin—as the great works of world literature. Hitler was a voracious reader; he claimed to read at least one book a night, if not more. People are surprised by Hitler's taste because they've seen too many Hollywood films to believe le ebul dictator could be nuanced. Yes, he thought well of Stowe, and although he intended to remove people of African ancestry from existence, he did not see them as evil, simply "in the way", as it were.
>>25334836>he intended to remove people of African ancestry from existenceSource? Never heard that before
>>25333878I can't really describe how simultaneously bored and yet intrigued and entertained I was by Robinson Crusoe.
