Written in the middle of the 19th century, Debit and Credit (AKA Soll und Haben) by Gustav Freytag is a very interesting work. It was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed German novels ever written until 1945. Supposedly wealthy German fathers would buy it as a gift for their sons when they reached adulthood because of it's encapsulation of Prussian middleclass values. The reason it fell out of favor after WWII is because of it's negative portrayals of Jews and Poles, although not all Jews and Poles in the novel are villains. The main story is about a young German businessman who gets caught up in a struggle between a declining Silesian aristocratic family and Jewish moneylenders.The retard-savant Autphag

Share the archives from old threads and the and average anon's writing mastery.Psychological Depth is a Crutch
The mark of a good character is not depth. It's making them feel lifelike. Not necessarily in the sense that seem like the kind of people you see in real life, but in the sense that they feel like living creatures with their own independent thought process. Great writers can do this with only a few lines. Bad writers, on the other hand, cannot so they compensate by adding layers and layers irrelevant "depth" to make them seem lifelike when they're really not. A mustache twirling villain who ties a damsel to railroad track because he has mommy issues is no better than one who does it just because he's evil. It adds nothing to the character or the overall story in any meaningful way.In the last two months I read at least one book from these authors
Larry McMurtryBooks on how to talk
I know this sounds retarded but I need books on how to talk with flow and to speak in an organized manner. Whenever I talk I either side track or I either talk about something and then I blank out and can't remember about what I'm talking about since my mind is already thinking about something else or I'm thinking too much on the words to use. How do you fix this, I need to learn how to speak like a normal person.--YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE LIBRARY OF /LIT/TYKINO--

Have you ever heard of this theory, /lit/? It proposes that Aleksandr Pushkin and Alexandre Dumas were the same person. The most thorough explanation of the theory I could find was some old post on an Eastern Orthodox forum. I'm just copy-pasting it from there.
