Not him but I'm also Hungarian, it's not the one who wrote Metropole, I'm sure he means Frigyes Karinthy, he is universally accepted as one of the greatest writers of Hungary, meanwhile Ferenc Karinthy is basically unknown compared to Frigyes.

i meant his father Karinthy Frigyes (his most famous work was ' a journey round my skull')
btw his mother was a jew who was worked together with Mengele in Wien. during the WW2, in a concentration camp she punched him in the face. after that she was executed

>Croat
>Krleža, Matoš, Ujević, I guess

>Kamov
Nisam čitao ništa od njega, što preporučuješ za početak?

Odd considering Metropole is in print here while I don't think any of the other Karinthy's works aren't or if they are they are pretty much out of print now like a lot of eastern European books are here.

who would be your choices as hungarian?

Sweden

Stringdberg
Knausgaar
Edda

Isušena kaljuža, jedini roman njegov

Danke

Romanian
Blaga,Cartarescu,Visniec

>Paz
Fuck you lame escrotos

Russia
Dontsova, Dugin, Perumov

Hard question honestly, I could try to pick 3 but even then there would be a lot of others whose place on the list would be just as justified. Our literature is truly great due to the nature of the Hungarian language and the history of the country.
Here's 3 at basically random:
Ady
Karinthy
Mikszáth

I really want Krasznahorkai to be there as well but it may be too soon.

How do you feel about Szerb? I've got three of his books on my shelf but I loved how cozy the two I read were.

wasn't kafka born in prague? does he really count as german

kettő könyvem is van tőle, de még egyiket sem olvastam sajna, pedig érdekelne, csak mindig van valami más amibe belekezdek

FRANCE
- Molière
- Victor Hugo
- Gustave Flaubert

Kafka wrote in german, so i guess he counts as german.

Kafka said of himself he felt german.

>not sure if bait or actually retarded

American
Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe

Camus? Maupassant?

Only read The Pendragon Legend, it was comfy yeah but it wasn't as good as I expected it to be, I prefer him as a literary critic rather than as an author.

Not retarded at all. He wrote in german, ergo he counts as a german writer. Just like Nicolesco wrote in french, thus considered a french writer, even though he moved in France only in his twenties.

What else would make an author belong to a certain nation than the mastery and use of the language as a means of expression of his books?

>Camus

fuck you and everyone you love

Do you mean Mrs. Knausgård?

>tfw still such newfag pleb and haven't read my countries good authors

>Joyce wrote in English, ergo he counts as Australian writer
>Cervantes wrote in Spanish, ergo he counts as Mexican writer
>Voltaire wrote in French, ergo he counts as Congolese writer
kys imbecile

German is also the language of Switzerland and Austria, cretin.

1. I am on my phone, I can't reply properly.
2. Kafka is considered by critics to be a german writer because he wrote in german. Take it or leave it , lol.

>Twain
>Poe
>Thoreau

Also, Kafka lived in what back then was German soil.

>Papanoutsos
>Kazantzakis

Who was Verwandlung and why did Kafka want him to fucking die?

It was Austrian, you absolute retard. Amerilard teenagers need to stop trying into history and geography.

Swiss German is very distinctive and specific, with a very strong identity. Most people in Germany do not understand Swiss German. All Swiss learn High German or Hochdeutsch and it's mainly used in the written form and for administrative, official functions.

Sweden

Strindsperg
Guillou
Lagerlöf

Kek just realised I am retarded and forgot about the Austrian-Hungarian empire. He still is considered by critics to be a german writer.

Also I am not American, I am even worse: Eastern European.

Danke für den Exkurs. Unverständliche Dialekte gibt es auch in Deutschland reichlich. Amtssprache ist aber immer noch Hochdeutsch sowohl in DE als auch in CH und AT.

German!
Brecht (I'm communist), Tucholsky (same and funny poems), Kafka (same and I know his feels)

-close and in this order:
Heinrich Heine (he raped a Godness!),

Thomas Mann (I like to see families go down),

G. Büchner (fuck it, Lenz!),

Schiller, Goethe, Lessing (all three are good, but too much school bullshit and too happy humans, too arogant characters),

ETA Hoffmann (Sandmann is the best good night story: really good sleep pill),

Kästner (because he saw his books burned and.... yes poems funny, other work is forgetable)

I forgot: Otto Weiniger... Veeky Forums must read "Geschlecht und Charakter " ("Sex and Character")!!!!!!!!

No country can compete against even one century

James, Melville, Whitman, I guess

I doubt it will change anyone's mind, but Kafka and Rilke are not listed on the Wikipedia page for German literature. Nicholas Boyle, a Goethe specialist and German literature scholar at Cambridge, also omitted Kafka (and Swiss/Austrian writers generally) from his overview of the field.

You are just plain dumb.
Brazilian patrician here and if you can't acknowledge the beauty of Graciliano Ramos not only prose but stories you are a dumb guy.

Also, brazilian literature is way more richier than US for instance, you just need to learn it and stop being an uncultured swine.
Only when you realize the Northeast is the true literary force that drove this country you'll bow before the superior literature.

HOLY... I can't read lmao

>Sun Tzu, Murakami, Tao Lin

It's so hard to only pick 3 authors though.

poor bait, my bro. Here's a (you) for the thought rather than the execution.

Graciliano sucks.
