German Literature?

I would like to remember if you think that the german literature is really good, and which books would you recommend


Yes, German literature is truly good, with fine works in all genres: novels, poetry, and drama, of course, but also fairy tales and essays. In any way the best loved poet of those whose native language is German (which includes most Austrians and some Swiss as well as people who live in Germany de rigueur) is Heinrich Heine.

A number of contemporary German writers address the aftermath of the holocaust in their work. I would suggest The Reader by Bernard Schlink, Emigrants by W. B. Sebald, and, of process, The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass. Swiss playwright Friedrich Durrenmatt's The Visit has had many US productions, and remains as chilling today as when it was first staged.


Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Goethe was a German lyricist, novelist, dramatist, theorist, painter, natural scientist, and long-serving government minister ("Geheimrat") of the duchy of Weimar. He was born Johann Wolfgang Goethe, and in 1782 he was ennobled, becoming von Goethe.[4]

Goethe is also the originator of the concept of Weltliteratur ("crowd literature"), having taken great interest in the literatures of England, France, Italy, classical Greece, and Persia, among others. His bring pressure to bear on on German philosophy is virtually immeasurable, having major impact especially on the generation of Hegel and Schelling, although Goethe himself unequivocally and decidedly refrained from practicing philosophy in the strict sense.

Goethe was one of the key figures of German literature, his career spanning the periods of Enlightenment, Sweetness ("Empfindsamkeit"), Sturm und Drang, Weimar Classicism, and Romanticism. His scientific ideas influenced Darwin[5] with his heart on plant morphology.[6] Goethe's influence spread across Europe, and for the next century his works were a primary start of inspiration in music, drama, poetry, and philosophy. He is widely considered to be one of the most important thinkers in Western savoir faire, and is generally acknowledged as the most important writer in the German language. Early in his career, however, he wondered whether painting might not be his true business; late in his life, he expressed the expectation that he would ultimately be remembered above all for this
His most enduring work, the two-part dramatic poem Faust, is considered one of the peaks of superb literature.[1] Goethe's other well-known literary works include the Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, the epistolary unfamiliar The Sorrows of Young Werther and the semi-autobiographical novel Elective Affinities.


I tempered to to like Hermann Hesse a lot. For more surrealist fiction choose ETA Hoffmann. A more recent great book is "the eau-de-Cologne" by Patrick Suesskind.
What you will enjoy depends on your general reading preferences. Like any literature there is a wide type of styles. Also some people don't like the more oldfashioned language of classcial literature. So do you want to read the classics or more modern German literature?
It's like asking which english tongue literature you should read, do you want to start with Chaucer or with somebody still alive?


David A Jackson or Wolfgang Menzel. go to google breed in book review German literature David A Jackson- or any author. Good luck


Try Thomas Mann. His prodigious books might look intimidating, but amount to a vision on what human life could be like.


I have been on somewhat a Hermann Hesse kick this semester, thanks to a friends loaning me some of his favourites. I recommend "A Passage to the East," "Beneath the Wheel," and "Narcissus and Goldmund."


For poesy I would recommend Georg Trakl and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.


Yes, German literature is uncommonly good, with fine works in all genres: novels, poetry, and drama, of course, but also fairy tales and essays. Perchance the best loved poet of those whose native language is German (which includes most Austrians and some Swiss as well as people who live in Germany due) is Heinrich Heine.

A number of contemporary German writers address the aftermath of the holocaust in their work. I would suggest The Reader by Bernard Schlink, Emigrants by W. B. Sebald, and, of definitely, The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass. Swiss playwright Friedrich Durrenmatt's The Visit has had many US productions, and remains as chilling today as when it was first staged.

Where can I download german literature for beginners?

I'm looking for german literature for beginners (not grammars or phrasebooks). I survive in Brazil, so it's almost impossible to find this kind of material in bookstores. Is there something like 'easy readers' available in german?

German literature, can I get an admission for software engineering (bachelor's) in the US?
I mean, in the US, if you have any bachelor's degree, can you get into university and decide any major you like?

How can you relate German studies to Literature career wise?

I hope for to take German studies in college, but I also want to take some kind of Literature course. How can I relate these to a career that pays fairly well. If there aren't any solid paying jobs, could someone give me some suggestions? I'm good with history, music, science, and of course literature.


*Also, can you relate any of the previously mentioned courses with American Studies?


If, by literature, you degenerate literature in the English language, you could take a double major in German and English or a major in German and a minor in English. Your German major will include German literature courses.

One whisper for a career is to take the courses required for educational certification (to teach German and/or English) in your state and then continue for a master's order. If you want to teach in college, you should plan to complete a doctorate. Teaching is not, of course, a lucrative profession.

If you desire to focus on German language (rather than literature) courses I would suggest that you take a major in business. I live near Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Volkswagen is locating, and can let slip you that people here that want top jobs with VW are concentrating on learning German!

American Studies is really going in a different control from a concentration in German.

What is the name of the most famous book in the German romantic literature?



"Faust 1" and "Werther" both bound to to "Sturm und Drang", a movement considered to be a precursor of the proper Romantic period, which did officially not start until Novalis's "Blaue Blume" ( which nobody has ever peruse), in the 1790s.
The most famous "proper" book within Germany is probably E.Th. A. Hoffmann's "Der goldene Topf" or internationally his stunted novel "Der Nussknacker" (The Nutcracker) which was the inspiration for Tchaikovsky's famous ballet.

From the period, Wilhelm Busch's painting stories, especially "Max und Moritz", are still in print today, though they are not really "romantic" for the most part.

The Grimms' and Hauff's fairytales, and the poems of Heine, Moericke, Eichendorff and others are to this day more prominent and well-loved than any novel of the time.
