Name who you consider the 3 best writers in your mother tongue

I actually haven't read a book in 4 years.

>niet Reve
>niet Vestdijk
>niet Couperus
>niet Hooft
Vondel is leuk, maar als je der zoveel heb ken je toch wel meer as eentje kieze?

No Boccaccio? He is has a very humourous way of writing imo.

shakespeare, joyce and woolf

Goethe
Kafka
Hesse

Machado de Assis
Fernando Pessoa
Guimarães Rosa

none of them.
t. user from eastern europe

Hard one. I've read too few to judge the whole langage, but among those I've read:

>Hugo
>Baudelaire
>Pascal

wish I could include Bernanos, Rimbaud or Valéry

Shakespeare
Faulkner
Melville

Cervantes
Calderón de la barca
Borges

I haven't read many things in my native tongue

Cervantes
Baroja
Pérez Galdós

Yeah he's good, but Italian literature gave its best in poetry. (Then you read Nievo and you instantly change idea, but still).

>Dante
>Leopardi
Third place is a tie between Montale and Gadda.
What do you like in Petrarca? I've never been able to appreciate him that much

Imre Madách
Frigyes Karinthy
János Arany

Willem
Frederik
Hermans

Huizinga
Achterberg
Reve

>Spanish, but with emphasis in México.

1. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
2. Luisa Josefina Hernández
3. José Emilio Pacheco

>Achterberg
Never heard of this guy. What do you rec?

Schulz
Prus
Norwid

>Spanish, worldwide

Brecht is just edge anyway.

I recommend you:

1. Dick
2. Cock
3. Penis

Kafka, Schopenhauer, Goethe
(bonus: easy reading with Kurt Faber)

How you dare!

But seriously, Goethe is pretty famous, but he wasn't really that good.

>1.
Aasimov is better

ecks dee

Neither is Brecht, you'd be better off picking the least of Manns even. More than enough Schriftsteller to choose from.

Hölderlin, Rilke, Kafka

shopping list ?

Thomas Mann, Thomas Bernhard, Franz Kafka

I like your joke, but incorrect

>Aasimov
Hit the streets with that kike shit.

>Not getting baited by all the germophones saying Kafka.
>Reacting to my lame joke.

I wouldn't agree with that completly, just because of the fact that I haven't read much literature that were written by women but by God.... Viriginia Woolf is so crappy. I read Mrs Dalloway and Im still pretty mad about the fact that its a brainlet, feminin and shitty version of In Search of Lost Times by Proust.

Shakespeare
Milton
Melville

It was mad decent. Don't be so hard on yourself, user.

Shakespeare
Joyce
Hemingway

Steinbeck, Poe and Bradbury are the best burger writers

William Blake
Herman Melville
Thomas Ligotti

King Solomon
Agnon
Hanoch Levin

I like his constancy. The Canzoniere is nothing but a huge variation on the same theme. He always talks about the same woman, the same feelings, the same love, but in each poem he creates new situations to describe it in newer and newer ways. It's an exeptional example for any writer, the definitive proof that you don't need a lot of real life experience to write well. In addition to this, his language is beautiful, so pure and gentle and bright. Stylistically speaking, Petrarch is better than Dante.

However I agree on Montale, and despite the recent contrarianism I also love Ungaretti. Only a cynical insensitive could not appreciate Ungaretti.

Shakespeare
Eliot
Browning

Madách, komolyan?

>implikálja hogy az Ember Tragédiája nem a(z) (egyik) legnagyszerűbb mű amit nemzetünk irodalma kitermelt a századok során
De te kit tennél a helyébe?
Őszintén, azt hittem Karinthy jobban fogja valakinek baszni a csőrét, fogalmam sincs miért.

>Walt Whitman

Do you guys have any writer that feels like Satantango? Do not tell me Krasznahorkai, because no, he doesn't.

Az ember tragédiája mint színmű oké, de egész irodalmat tekintve szerintem nem top3
nekem inkább József Attila, Örkény vagy Krasznahorkai, Esterházy

Joyce
Pynchon
DFW

Azt nem mondtam hogy nincs más jó. Elképesztően sok jó van. Zrínyi is jó.
Esterházyt nem olvastam, az egy dió amit majd később török fel.
Igazából vaciláltam én, hidd el, vaciláltam, hogy akkor most Krasznahorkai legyen-e végül ott, vagy valamelyik másik a három közül, mert igen, talán kicsit fapados a lista, de nekem nagyon de nagyon tetszett az Ember Tragédiája.
A magyar irodalom csúcsteljesítménye, Esterházy trükkös prózája ide vagy oda. (Mert bár ugye Tour de Force, és szép teljesítmény az is, ítéljük oda az alapján amennyit a Fancsikó és Pintából volt szerencsém olvasni.)
És persze, dialektikára redukálható az egész, de nem érdekel (Bár a tézis antitézis pár nem feltétlenül követi mindig egymást a művön belüli cselekményből jövően.). Egy mágikus utazás és nagyon tetszett.

>he fell for the Yea Forums meme

Hamsun
Ibsen
Petterson

>Hurr hurr I'm movie pleb
Read Krasznahorkai or jump in the Danube faggot. Krasznahorkai is good. Really good. The best this language managed to produce in the last 50 or so years.
Read him.

Padre Antônio Vieira
Camilo Castelo Branco
Machado de Assis

br btw

Persze, ízlésről vitatkozni nyilván hülyeség, csak szerintem Madách jellemzően ilyen egykönyves író, Zrínyi meg inkább történelmi szempontból érdekes. A 20. századtől kezdve viszont nyilván annyi a zseni hogy rangsorolni se lehetne.
Nekem egyébként a Fancsikó és Pinta annyira nem tetszett mint a későbbi könyvek (de nem a legutolsók, inkább ilyen 2000 környéke nálam a kedvenc, mikor már átment ilyen kevésbé posztmodernbe. Ha viszont posztmodern, akkor Fuharosok)
Egyébként Aranyban, Karinthyban teljesen egyetértek

Why are Hungarians so salty? Movie pleb is most probably you, not me. I've read Krasznahorkai and his prose doesn't match the atmosphere of the film in my opinion, except some parts of The World Goes On, maybe, but that's another thing. Moreover, I haven't said he's bad, just that he doesn't feel like the movie, so you really need to calm down.

If we're talking sheer quality, it's obviously a matter of personal taste. If we're talking contribution to the development of the language, there's a debate to be had.

For example, regarding French, I would put Rabelais, Molière, and maybe Céline as instrumental to the development of French literature even though of them are among my favorite authors

It's the world that's too sweet.

Sweet trips too, uh?

amúgy érdekel, top3 magyar film?

I guess.

Nem. Életemben összesen ha 5 filmet láttam önszántamból.
Nem is tudnék hozzászólni, mert még a műfaj alapvetéseivel se vagyok tisztában a mérhetetlen mértékű ignoranciám miatt.

ok

Hát ezt gyanúsan egyszerűen letudtuk.
Kösz hogy megérted.

bármikor

Shakespeare
Austen
George Eliot

Platão
Marcos Aurelio
Homero

I would say:
H.C. Andersen
Soren Kierkegaard
N.F.S. Grundtvig

But there are so many more I could mention.

Ariosto
Leopardi
Landolfi

Didn't Aurelio write in Latin?

And Homer and Plato in Greek.

His Meditations were written in Greek at the very least.

SIN ORDEN PARTICULAR:

— BALTASAR GRACIÁN.

— JOSÉ VASCONCELOS.

— MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA.

english
shakespeare
joyce
pynchon in a very distant third

musil
rilke
bernhard

Shakespeare
Kipling
Milton

Not him. I've read Garcilaso, García Márquez, and several other of those people. I've never found anything beautiful or sublime in those people's works.

nietzsche
thomas mann
goethe

Cartarescu
Cioran
Rebreanu

Rousseau, there is nothing like Rousseau.

I honestly hold him to be one of the wiser political scientists. The Social Contract is similar to The Prince, in how it can simply help you live life, by looking at situations other people in charge political situations acted.

Emile exposes his personal philosophy towards life and it is just... amazing. Just a beautiful perception to have about learning, love, etc. It is me and my girlfriend's favorite.

Racine
Proust
Balzac

Azt hiszem ez az egyetlen és utolsó pillanat, amikor megkérdezhetem, hogy melyik bibliafordítást olvassam.
(Amúgy József Attilát miért említjük a legnagyobbak között? Őszinte kérdés, agylet vagyok a lírához.)

Norwid
Gombrowicz
S. I. Witkiewicz

good picks

Kafka
Büchner

The rest are lame af, I hate German literature

sajnos nekem még kimaradt a biblia mert kőateista vagyok, de szeretném majd pótolni :(
József Attillát meg én azért említem, mert szerintem hiába állítjuk magunkról hogy ilyen-olyan költőnemzet vagyunk, prózában mégis sokkal több a jó alkotás, és lírában számomra, talán csak Arany, Ady, József, esetleg Kosztolányi van.

imagine unironically disagreeing with this

2bh a protestánsoknak mindig a Károli-Biblia éppen aktuális revíziója dívik, irodalmilag is ez a legnagyobb behatású ha jól rémlik, a katolikusoknál meg mindig valami új memé a menő afaik.
De abban meg benne vannak az apokrif iratok is.
Én igazából a Károlit olvasnám először, aztán ahhoz apokrif iratokat.

Dante
Leopardi
Montale

Yeah, seriously. They're objectively the 3 canonical greatest German authors. No other writer comes close.

thomas mann is unironically russian writer

that's because you've never been in a third world country

Shakespeare
Fitzgerald
Wilfred Owen

>Racine
>no Molière

>Proust
>no Zola

Slauerhoff
Multatuli
Couperus

Sorry Goethe fucked your mom dude

Shakespeare and Joyce are the only on this list that remotely apply for English. Chaucer. Milton is literal trash. Where is my boy Tommy P.

>Multatuli
So he's really good? I mean, I heard his name a few times but mainly because he was 'the only famous Dutch writer'. Is Max Havelarr actually worth reading?

Rabelais
La Fontaine
Céline

>Milton is literal trash.

Márai Sándor
József Attila
Madách Imre

Max havelaar is my personal favourite book after Moby Dick and I do think it's one of the greatest books ever written. To fully appreciate it you should read up on the life of the writer, as his history before writing the book, and his mindset when he wrote it in the span of 3 weeks, is important to understanding what he's trying to do here.

It's not a book I fully appreciated on my first reading, (just like most of my favourites), but I did enjoy reading it a ton. I'm not sure how a translation would hold up, but I don't have much trust in it, even so, there is just so much good stuff in the book, that I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's not the number one entry on the canon of Dutch literature, because it's mediocre, anyhow.

Cervantes
Quevedo
Calderón or San Juan de la Cruz

Modest contribution, but I like it. Each so stylistically different. If 3 favorites were asked instead Hoffmann would be included on my list.

Though choices two and three are outlandish I really do like (you) user.

Recorcholis, iba a escribir eso mismo
