It's a very good resource on Latin American literature Larry Send a noteboard - 26/05/2012 07:57:56 PM
It might also point me to a few people I'm not familiar with but whose works I might like reading. I've got Lope de Vega, Cervantes, de la Barca and a few others from the Siglo de Oro (or just before it proper, like Lazarillo de Tormes).


There are references to Continental Spanish lit here and there, but it's interesting to see how little each influenced the other for most of the past four centuries.

My list of French literature I've read is extremely short, so, um, Racine? Yourcenar? Legolas - 22/05/2012 08:17:49 PM 994 Views

And if you were to read the Spanish versions, there are two well-known plays Larry - 23/05/2012 11:57:45 PM 1031 Views
Okay, I looked at Don Carlos. I see no resemblance to Don Juan. Tom - 25/05/2012 08:40:05 PM 1047 Views
I mentioned it because Don Juan appears in it, but is not the star of it Larry - 25/05/2012 10:24:20 PM 1064 Views

You could read the world's first Sci-Fi novel, Lucian of Samosata's Ἀληθῆ διηγήματα. Tim - 27/05/2012 03:08:30 PM 1139 Views
Having read more about that, I'm tempted to say genre fiction has always been bad. Tom - 28/05/2012 03:40:45 AM 972 Views
