whenever those topics come up, ignore the surface issues and inquire about the motivating principles behind their beliefs. What moved them to that particular faith? Do they hold revelation as a suitable ground for belief? What should a society do with the least competent members of it's population? Unless the individual is just an absolute prick, you can always make some kind of progress in a conversation

At least I try, unlike the vast majority of the population. And at least I have the courtesy to avoid insulting others when anonymous.

>>12218253
Fair enough. I honestly didn't think of it in this manner. Clearly, I'm going to have to read up on Jung some more, so I think I'll avoid using him in my thesis. I'm trying to think of another argument that I can extrapolate from the works that we've read. I've already done an essay focused on Gilgamesh, and one on the political background behind Dante's Inferno, so I'm trying to think of something else. I'll keep this updated while I can.

The historical part not considered by the author himself were the available male/boy prostitutes at the time (though that's still not a perfect substitute).

>use your left hand to scratch the itch.
As evident by the rise of our modern eunich subclass, the Incel, your left hand will only appease that kind of itch for so long.

Bumping for this
i am also interested in some poets someone with in the B1-B2 level could understand

>>12216825
100 years of solitude, 2666, Fictions by Borges, Don Quixote

>>12216825
Pedro Páramo, El llano en llamas, Cien años de soledad, Ficciones, El Aleph, Aura, Bestiario, Rayuela, those are mostly short works that are really good, especially Pedro Páramo
Author-wise I'd recommend Julio Cortázar, Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, Gabriel García Marques, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (his main works are poetry tho), Calderón de la Barca, Miguel de Cervantes and Mario Benedetti (he's mostly a poet)

>>12219995
Ernesto Sábato - El túnel and Sobre héroes y tumbas.
Adolfo Bioy Casares - La invención de Morel.
Manuel Puig - Beso de la mujer araña, Boquitas pintadas

>>12219995
Do not read anything by Juan Rulfo if you are just starting to learn spanish. I'm a native spanish speaker and it was difficult to follow from time to time. He uses a lot of pretty specific mexican expressions and vocabulary.

slam poetry, and any form of art, becomes ass whenever it becomes tainted by political ideologies and stops focusing on the personal or existential

The focus on the person is the issue dude. You need to read less bed poetry, respectfully.

It's ok, most of Russians consider it boring as fuck, even Tolstoy himself didn't like it.

>>12218053
See, I would take the opposite view—the essay certainly convinced me with examples from outside the text that Conrad was racist, but Heart of Darkness not so much.

Yes, but who cares? Conrad was a racist. Neat. He was also much smarter than Achebe, and more importantly, a superior writer.

>>12218144
Conrad, a contemporary man, could not have written anything else, one must take context into account, whilst I agree that he was racist he couldn't really help it .

Any books that subvert the narrative of Africa being a magical place that was ruined by white men?

I thiught it was a dictionary categorised by metric denotation. The bookstore clerk lied to me.

>The bookstore clerk lied to me.

More likely they bullshitted so that you would buy the product and/or go away. I assume the book was not present, otherwise you could have perused it.

>>12219912
Does such a dict exist, tho?

Better than the game.

I really enjoyed the perilous journey Artyom was forced to undertake; the fear is much more palpable that the one transmitted on the game. Some sections are pretty unnerving and while I don't think it has much to offer on the way of high literature, it is still an enjoyable novel with some interesting passages.

Really enjoyed it honestly. The worldbuilding and setting were very nice, story was nice, sometimes theres odd choices of words due to the russian/english translation but for me it was a page turner.
