The best German writers and their works

In Germany, full of cozy towns with wonderful landscapes. There is in them some grand and at the same time fabulous atmosphere. Perhaps, for this reason, German writers occupy a special place in the slender ranks of geniuses of world literature. Perhaps, many of them are not so well known as authors from Russia, England, France, but this does not mean that they are not worthy of attention.

The best German writers

• Erich Maria Remarque. Romance, despair and a large number of philosophical thoughts, which sometimes compel a lot to rethink in life - all this is intertwined in the author's works. His most famous work is "Three Comrades". Fans of creativity Remark advised to begin acquaintance with the writer with this work. "On the Western Front Without Change", "The Arc de Triomphe" and many other of his novels are also magnificent.
• Wolfgang Goethe. Perhaps the most famous German writer. The tragedy "Faust" has long been firmly entrenched among the best works of the whole world. "The sufferings of a young Werther" - less known, although no less talented his work.
• Hermann Hesse. He is called one of the most harmonious novelists of the 20th century. "Steppe Wolf" has become a cult work among young people not only in Germany, but also in countries all over the world. Along with the "Bead Games", this novel shows human suffering, misfortunes and misconceptions of the common man.
• Thomas Mann. He had an incredible ability to see life and reliably display it on paper. "Magic Mountain", "Buddenbrooks", "Death in Venice" - monumental works that entered the golden fund of world literature.
• Lyon Feuchtwanger. If the above-mentioned German writers tell us fictional stories (although, of course, very realistic), Feuchtwanger is a master in the genre of the historical novel. It is worth familiar with his books "False Nero" and "Spanish Ballad".
• Ernst Hoffmann. The name of this author is associated with fairy tales in any book-lover. However, these fantastic stories can hardly be called children's literature - even many adults and experienced readers hardly understand the meaning inherent in them. "Life views of the cat Murra, for example, or" Golden Pot "will immediately let you know whether your author is this or not.

German writers of our day continue to create excellent literature. It is still as different from what is being published in other countries. So, modern German writers:

• Günther Grass. Nobel Prize winner. The first novel written by him in 1959, the "Tin Drum", which reflects the grotesque view of the history of Germany of the 20th century, brought world fame to the author.
• Cornelia Funke. Writes mainly in the fantasy genre. "Inkheart", "King of Thieves" and "Lord of the Dragons" - excellent reading for teenagers. The writer knows how young hearts need good stories and faith in a miracle - she worked for many years with disabled children.
• Patrick Syskind. Got a nickname "a phantom of German literature," and it's no coincidence - from all interviews he shies as best he can. His most famous work is Perfume. Many saw it.
• Bernhard Schlink. World fame, he also brought the adaptation of the novel "The Reader."

Of course, there are more good writers. Often an acquaintance with the author closest to your heart happens suddenly. The same as with people.
