Saint dave? haven't you watched this is water? I heard he also writes good essays
What are some good well researched books that explore in detail the topic of Christianity being a thoroughly semitic movement fabricated and perpetuated by the eternal jew in order to control the white man on a spiritual level by supplanting Europa's völkisch Óðinnist traditions with semitic desert cuckoldry during times when the jew's usury becomes ineffective?
I've been redpilled on this issue for years now but would like to brush up on the topic so i can better argue it and uncuck other white nationalists who still partake in the crucifix jew.

I think you might have trouble finding this

Goddamn... it all makes sense now!

If you write fiction or poetry: which philosopher most influences your writings?
the two things (poetry/fiction and philosopher) are not necessarily are stricly interrelated.
>>7879471
No shit.
>>7879475
yep, no shit at all.
most important i don't see why a writer should be influenced by a philosopher rather than by some other writer. in fact write can be also philosophy but philosopy rarely can be also something differente from himself.

Do you know any essays on the topics that are treated in "Brave new world"? Such as how pleasure can be used as a way to dominate the masses, or critiques on hedonism and so on.

Yo, pretetencious /lit/erati, we all know that every Anglo-modernist (in Anglo-lands it has a diff´rent meaning from the continent) and every Victorian writer would, now and then, quote the Bible and Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and Milton and Tyndale and Virgin Queen and Queen of Scots and Hobbes and Cromwell and John Donne. And sometimes they'd reach out to even continentals, like the Italians, the Romans o the Greeks.
My question is: Can you point out at least one place where Shakespeare or Dante would quote someone else? Pro-tip: you can't. Bump with...

I'm at page 53 or so and this is a pain in the ass to read. Is this going to get good?
>>7878072
It didn't for me. Max Havelaar is one of those books that for a large part owes it's fame to it's historical significance. And if you ignore the historical aspect and look at it as just a work of literature then it is clearly flawed. I found it a real chore to read back in school and I don't think I would recommend it to anyone (especially not to schoolchildren) except people extremely interested in the historical aspect.
Dutch books I did like:

Wolkers and Jan Cremer are one of the few enjoyable Dutch writers
I read De Engelenmaker from Stefan Brijs recently and thought it was great. Might be worth looking into if you're looking for good Dutch literature.

Are Generic settings bad even when that was your intent? I am writing a novel and the first two or three chapters are set in a generic post-apocalyptic world before the protagonist wakes up. I want to write it like generic because it would be a foreshadow for my future novels. I want to hear /Lit/ opinion/.
>pic unrelated
If you're writing in English I don't think you'll need to worry about the content, no one will even understand what you're trying to say
Generic is fine, but not too generic. Think about the opening. The setting must have some sense of familiarity to make the story come alive.
For example, think of these three post-apocalyptic movies:
Mad Max
The Road
The Postman
All are generically post-apocalyptic but they aren't the same settings at all. Be generic, that's fine, but give it at least some life to show that it's yours and it's a place that your characters and audience can relate to.
>>7877916
Yeah this is pretty much true.
So i found a first edition of Stefan Zweig's only novel, "Beware of Pity" for just under a 100 dollars in an old bookstore this week. The owner didn't seem to know who he was so I quickly scooped it up.
Upon closer look I noticed that Zweig signed the first page. It still has the original dust jacket also. He would have needed to sign it between 1939-1942 before he killed himself which leads me to suspects it's rare indeed - if authentic.
Any idea how I can get this book appraised?
Also Stefan Zweig thread - any other /lit/izens enjoy his work?
I love Stefan Zweig tbqh
You should take your book to a shop that sells antique books or, even better, a library that has some kind of professional staff and have someone look over it. Don't sell it at a shop though, since you'd probably be ripped of if this is actually authentic.
Look for a local book collector who is not a retard
You could find ballpark shit on there internet but it's not definitive
