You know you're supposed to start with the Greeks, right?

Imagine claiming to love literature and being a moralFAGGOT at the same time

If Thomas Mann is underrated, what does that make his brother Heinrich Mann?

>>22262961
How is a writer who is on every top 100, significant amount of charts, invariably mentioned in every thread on germ*n literature, inter alia, “criminally underrated”?

>>22263069
He's never mentioned on /lit/,

>>22263100
Go back, newfag.

>>22263108
I'm just an /int/ tourist who don't mean no harm

>>22262961
He is criminaly overrated!
His brother Heinrich was by far the superior writer. He captured the german soul not once but twice! In Professor Unrat and in Der Untertan. Both fantastic reads! But by far not his magnus opus! That would be his novels about Henry Quatre. Maybe the most underread and underrated book of western literature.

What has Thomas? Buddenbrooks? Yes very nice... but compared to Der Untertan very mid.
Magic Mountain? Oh you mean that book that was literally a fake of Hamsuns Last Chapter?!

Fuck Thomas Mann and praise Heinrich Mann!

>>22263123
>Both fantastic reads
Plural.
>But by far not his magnus opus!
Singular.

I spit on your grave.

>>22263066
He only has good beginnings

>>22263066

I see nothing on libgen. There are no translations. Maybe he just wasn't that good to be translated into English, you know.

>>22263130
english is literally my fourth language i learned. how many languages do you speak friend?

Is this a /lit/ meme that I do not understand because I am an /int/ tourist

>>22263214
Just a typo.

>>22263224
>Just a typo
It's ok i'm retarded too

>>22263123
Buddenbrooks ist besser als alles was Heinrich geschrieben hat.

>>22263283

Most lit that's not on US highschool lists is underread, but maybe not underrated. Magic Mountain is a lowkey meme. Death of Venice makes every novella list. Felix Krull is underrated.

>>22263315
Do you like Josesp and his Brothers

Idk?
Magic Mountain is odd, I remember being kinda annoyed reading it, but I ended up thinking about the book quite a bit afterwards. Its a strange read.

>>22263633
How did you feel about Mynheer Peeperkorn

>>22263160
sweet mother of based

>>22263640
Have not read, the only other Mann I've read is Death in Venice, and I have similar mixed feelings as well.

>>22263315
thoughts on Doctor Faustus? Never read Mann and picked it up on a whim

>>22264608
>Have not read
He's a character in Magic: The Mountain

>>22264780
>thoughts on Doctor Faustus?
Some mind-blowing parts in that one, like when Adrian meets the devil, or when Mann describes Adrian's trip to the bottom of the ocean on a submersible and somehow elegantly ends up describing the vastness of our galaxy, or the absolutely heart-braking and soul-crushing description of little Nepo's death

I’m in Germoney right now and this is my stack. Haven’t found a great used book store yet. My German is also not great. Any tips for used book stores in Munich or easy to read but good Germ authors?

I popped by the Readery but it’s english focused and I’m trying to get some german books for practice, the other tip looks interesting, thanks. Any Munich insider tip beyond the normal tourist stuff? I’ve seen most of the museums already. Oh and can you explain how thunderstorms puts the S bahn out of commission?

The S-Bahn isn't run by the city or the state but by Deutsche Bahn, fully owned and operated by the G*rman government

hello??????

Gubbermint useless in every country huh? Well. Gotta run around town some more.

>>22265431
>Gotta run around town some more
yeah run bitch

You know what grinds my gears about germ books? 90% have the titles on the spine the wrong way. But it’s not even consistent because sometimes they’re the right way around. I thought you were all about autism and ordnung.

>>22265513

>easy to read but good Germ authors
Remarque (Arc de Triomphe)
Feuchtwanger (Goya)
Kästner (Fabian)
Horvath (Jugend ohne Gott)

>>22263160
Holy based.

ur a good man

>>22265524
Danke

>>22263640
Based Persoenlichkeit. Unlike most authors, Mann writes about rich dudes from personal experience so the criticism and empathy are balanced.

>>22265226
Hesse was really handy for me, the Kaestner reccomendation is on song. I also think Lenz (for the stories) is accessible, because he's all about physical description of the world, with little to no abstraction.

>Bavarians are in the thread

Is it true that Bavaria is the most beautiful part of Germany?

>>22265226
Swiss author, but Gottfried Keller's "Der grüne Heinrich" is an amazing read and was one of Thomas Mann's favorites (he discovered it rather late in life, while he was working on Doctor Faustus)

>>22265586
I'm biased but I think so, yes

>>22265586

>>22265586
yeah, and its not even close. Prussians used to be able to say that at least they were richer, but thats long out of the window now already.

so anyway

munich /lit/ meet up when?

I tend to assume everyone on 4chan is a psycho or grotesque loser and I’d rather keep my testicles than have them eaten by the Bavarian Ball Muncher. Y’all are great, at comfortable distance.

European Heinrich Mann Appreciaction lit meet up when?

>>22265772
>munich /lit/ meet up when
But I rarely read, I'm kinda retarded

>>22265807
I go to LMU and I have met two people casually irl (class and cafe) who had /lit/ open or tagged in their browser and they were both girls.
Not necessarily attractive or too mentally stable looking, but not too awkward to not be approachable enough.

Munich /lit/ might be all female perhaps.

>>22265967
I'm not female but I'm gay (15cm, uncut)

>>22262973
