Hello /lit/. I am looking for books with the following qualities. I'd be chuffed if you'd oblige me with some suggestions.
- Focused on action; feelings and emotions rather than thought and reason; the present moment rather than contemplations of future or past
- Eloquent and stylistically sophisticated, but raw and emotional
- Experimental, audacious, unconventional
The more it fits with these descriptions, the better.
Thanks in advance! :)
i think you need to start with the greeks

Is Homer pretty close to what I'm talking about? His works do sound promising on that front.

Homer is literally all of the things you describe and more

Awesome. I'm gonna start with the Odyssey.
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius sounds rather similar to what you're looking for.
