The Trial is by no stretch of the imagination a mediocre work. It's more original than anything Tolstoy and Dostoevsky ever put out.

You fucking read a simplified version you dipshit. Also:
>Borges or, indeed, most Spanish literature.

That's like comparing Shakespeare with Heller or Fitzgerald, makes no fucking sense at all. Cervantes was a writer from the XVII century and Don Quijote is considered the first modern novel, and I'm not even mentioning how influental he was/is.

>Don Quijote is considered the first modern novel
Just like The Tale of Genji, Robinson Crusoe and Madame Bovary. So many firsts.

>> No.2282874

>>2282865
>Don Quijote came out in 1605
>Robinson Crusoe came out in 1715
>Madame Bovary came out in 1856

The only one that came before Don Quijote is The Tale of Genji, but it can't be considered a modern novel, because, guess what, it came out in the 11 century (middle age). It's actually considered the first novel.

TL;DR learn2argument

>> No.2282879

>>2282874
I forgot to mention, the modern age started in the 16th century, that's why Don Quijote is considered the FIRST modern novel.

I never said one was better than another, you have no reading comprehension, I said that Don Quijote came way earlier, and it should be considered the first modern novel.

By the way, hijacking this thread. Anyone have a good link for a must-read list that is around 100ish books? Just starting to get into reading again and want to go through the classics and great books of literary merit.
