good read made me kinda feel like shit for some reason, I am curious what is the benefit of reading authors like this? I find myself really interested in it, but every time I read it I always feel bad...

>>8755624
Honest question, are you under 21 years of age?

Also, benefit is subjective. Personally it reassures me that my own discomfort and persistent dislike of life and the world / reality in which I am fated to live has been experienced and analyzed and written about by other people whose thoughts I respect.

hmmm true it is kind of comforting from that perspective I guess, and I'm 19

Is Leopardi worth reading when one has on´ly access to translations?

>>8755682
I have Zibaldone in my house, it's like 1500 pages hardback. I flick through it at random, read an aphorism and either underline it or just place a circle beside it to mark it as read. Some pretty interesting stuff, though at times there's like a 1,000 word essay on asceticism or something like that.

Pessoa's Book of Disquiet

Any readily accessible chance someone would list off these people? Interested in a few of the less obvious whose face/words I don't recognize yet

>>8755529
Fernando Pessoa is missing from this.

>this is coming from the greatest mathematical mind of our generation

I do hope that the Leopardi quote isn't meant to be a translation of that bit of the Canto Notturno.

But anyway, Foscolo for someone who basically did Werthe better than Goethe in "Ultime Lettere di Jacopo Ortis"

>>8755682
The prose stuff is fine (Start with Operette Morali). The Zibaldone is monstrous though and not really something you "read".

The poetry is a bit more difficult. You could read it in translation if you really want, but I suspect then you'll get the feeling you're just reading the Operette Morali in verse-form instead of getting the poetic expression.
