Is Divine Comedy as good as his Devil May Cry series?

>>7958815
if you get the illustrated version, it's better.
>>
>>7958811
Not even close to half according to tradition, and not any of it at all according to the Documentary Hypothesis
>>
>>7958817
I hope /pol/ is now aware that Miguel de Cervantes was from Spain.
>>
>>7958819
Cool, I like picture books.

What is the literary equivalent of Evangelion?

>>7958815
Devil May Cry is a series of video games created by Hideki Kamiya, Anonymous, not Dante Alighieri, who wrote the epic poem the Divine Comedy.

I might recommend Brother's Karamazov. It became my favourite novel shortly after watching Evangelion as a teen.

The Bible itself is of course, another good book to understand the symbolism of Evangelion better.

Evangelion of course, has to deal much with the concept of God being made in man's image (much like man creates dolls or effigies), so the concept is essentially, "Could man create a God Machine?" and "Would God himself carry out Divine Retribution on mankind, and could mankind ever hope to fight against him?

Evangelion is a great series, to be quite frank. I would also recommend LoGH despite being an entirely different genre.

>>7958867
Another great read. It's always important to understand how these men of power reach their offices.

it's more about a bunch of brothers and their dickhead dad who bites the dust. if you loved all the daddy issues of Eva, you'll LOVE all the daddy issues of Brothers Karamazov.

I audibly chucked.

Yes, this is a good way to put it. I don't know why I was so drawn towards Karamazov after watching Evangelion as a teen, but it makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Almost all the characters in his novels are mentally ill degenerates, which of course makes for a great novel.
>>
>>7958802
Ever read the play Phaedra by Seneca? The Golden ass by Apuleius or Metamorphosis by Ovid? I feel that these are works that /pol/ and /lit/ would both enjoy and maybe we can all be friends.
>>
>>7958986
>The Golden ass

I like the sounds of this novel.

Read it it's very funny and super based.

There's nothing wrong with Art of the Deal, he's just an asshurt Bernie/Hillary voter.

>>7959028
Hillary supporters are Bankers, big time stock investors, and Saudis. I refuse to believe a average person will support that

>>7959044
The sad truth is the average woman over the age of 30 is a Hillary voter because she just really, really, really wants to see a female POTUS. They'll willingly buy into her lies because they want a female POTUS that badly.
