Post art, get reccd a book

I don't know why, but this makes me think of Jim Knopf

...

Le Morte D'Arthur
Moby Dick

...

I can kind of see it with pic related.

The obvious one for your picture is Mishima's Confessions of a Mask

Picnic at Hanging Rock

Picnic at Hanging Rock

Damn, I wasn't looking! I guess that's vindication for Picnic at Hanging Rock if anything

Viy
The Sermon on the Fall of Rome

The Eclogues would be better

Last Nights of Paris

Pereira Maintains

The frigade pallada

Njals saga

The works and days by Hesiod

Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas

I'm still half way through the temple of dawn. Really liked the first two books of sea of fertility but this one is a chore to read. Usually Mishima novels pick up in the second half, so I'll make the effort to finish the trilogy and then do confessions of a mask

Something by Edogawa Ranpo, maybe the strange tale of panorama island.

JG Ballard's Kingdom Come is the closest I can get. I don't know who else does raucous industrial apocalypse. I also thought of The Maimed for some reason.

Libidinal Economy

>Viy
I had a completely different impression of Gogol from The Inspector General. (admittedly the only thing by him I've read). I'll definitely check this out

Édouard Manet - Le Suicidé

Fyodor Dostoyevsky - The Village of Stepanchikovo

...

Werther

>that rigor mortis boner

...

...

Any translation you'd recommend?

Stanley Lewis, early work

The Wandering Jew - Guillaume Apollinaire

Au rebours - Huysmans

I dunno man. I've read it once in high school and I made the connection based on the plot.

Jealousy by Grillet or Hopscotch by Cortázar

My favourite piece of art.
Recommend me some books.

Thanks!

The Legend of the Holy Drinker—Joseph Roth
Berlin Alexanderplatz—Alfred Döblin
The Manuscript Found in Saragossa—Jan Potocki (though it is only a small part of this vast book)
The Devil—Leo Tolstoy
Well, have you read the Bible yet?
This remindes me of a scene in The Long Ships by Frans G. Bengtsson, but it's the wrong era of course.

is photography art?

yes

The Bridge on the Drina.

Dostoyevsky - Demons

...

Some taste.

Wish I could rec but I haven't read enough to do that

I simply love impressionism.
This guy gets it.

Contes cruels - Villiers de L'Isle-Adam
Michael Kohlhaas - von Kleist
Quatre contes - Théophile Gautier
Gérminal - Zola
Invitation to a Beheading - Nabokov

...

v on the nose but the swimmer by raymond carver

...

ITT: Veeky Forums has only slightly better taste than /pol/

Hypnerotomachia Poliphili - Francesco Colonna
Zenobia - Gellu Naum
Gimpel the Fool - Isaac Bashevis Singer

as you like it by william shakespeare

>ITT: Veeky Forums has even better taste than /pol/!

Gone with the Wind—Margaret Mitchell
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow—Washington Irving
Effi Briest—Theodor Fontane
Odyssey—Homer
I love this. Plague Dogs—Richard Adams

with focus on the lower-right quadrant

lol — there's only one, striking answer: BotNS

Great painter. Bumping with another picture by Lessing.

Are you asking for a rec from this? If so, I think of C.S. Lewis' "Till We Have Faces" for some reason.

Kinda neat that you can see the stains of soot from the fires

>Gone with the Wind—Margaret Mitchell
for gods sake I recently watchec the movie and I don't want to read the novel at all

Again, the obvious choice is Graves' "Count Belisaurius." He's more gentle with Belisaurius than he was with Claudius, but it's very nice.

Wow thanks, Amor and Psyche is one of my favorite greek myths coincidentally, so I might be looking into this.
Indeed.

...

Cool! Mine is Narcissus and Echo, and I enjoy viewing it with Christian undertones (the grace of Echo, the transfiguration of Narcissus, etc.).

Lewis does much the same with Cupid and Psyche, bringing the Christian symbols of high mystery into something very real and earthly. It's subtle and artful, but with the caveat that Apuleius' myth is so transformed that it becomes unrecognizable as such. I'd be curious to know what a Lessing fan like yourself thinks of the retelling. A great book for a rainy afternoon, all in all.

Help

Sounds great user, thanks again.

Plague Dogs is my favorite animated film. Thanks for the rec mane.
