Which books have the same man-versus-the-unbeatable or man-versus-nature theme/feel

Definitely the Iliad.

Don Quijote (fuck you English speakers) sort of

I've read them both. Both those are entry level. Anything not so famous but well-written? I might be asking too much, I know.

>tfw liked Don more than the Iliad

Krasznahorkai's War and War. Also Death of Virgil by Broch. Not against nature but against à greater, unknown thing I guess

>Iliad is entry level

I almost puked at your plebbery.

I don't think you read Don Quijote well enough since you call it entry level
It's a lot more deep than you think it is, and the good thing is that there are a lot of secondary sources that try to break it down.

Old Man and the Sea

Call of the Wild

Jack London's To Build a Fire

Some short story about a boat crew in aboat who can't get back to shore, one of them dies trying to swim back, none of them except the dead one is given a name because they're outclassed by nature, made into that which is infintessimal.

Thanks for the rec.

OP is a fucking scumbag who thinks skimming past an adapted version of the book, with a "modern" translation entitles him to call one of the most complex epics of all time "entry level".

Read Animorphs, OP. I'm sure you'll love the duality between man and animal.

And are you implying 14 year olds completely grasp it's complexity? Better tell all the scholars studying it they're wasting their time.
