Hay golpes en la vida, tan fuertes...yo no se!

Well, Cervantes is like their Shakespeare. When I took Spanish we had some "required reading" as the classes got more advanced too.

>>9200057
Lope de Vega
El Cantar de Mio Cid (if you're willing to learn Old Spanish)
Cervantes

Then learn French because Spanish lit is shit-tier

>>9200278
what is lope de vega known for? what works of his would you recommend?

Calderón de la Barca
El Lazarillo de Tormes
Rubén Darío

And what
>>9200278
said

>>9200259
I would say Calderón de la Barca or Lope de Rueda are like our Shakespeare, but I get why you are saying that.

Don't forget about Quevedo and Gongora

>Quevedo
Footnote on that: It's only worth it if you read it in Spanish. Otherwise you will lose a lot in translation, regardless of whether we are talking about his novels or his poems

Somewhat related to this topic: can anyone recommend literature of decent quality for someone still learning how to read Spanish? I'm thinking of something like Le Petit Prince, which is really good but also simple and useful for brushing up on actually reading literary French. Is there an equivalent for Spanish?

>>9200278
you take that back

El Buscón and Celestina
