Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Camus- You'll want to read L'Etranger (normally translated as The Stranger, but sometimes 'The Outside'. Basically it implies distance- like estranged)

Marx- Communist Manifesto.

Herman Hesse- He wrote The Glass Bead Game, Siddhartha, and The Prodigy amongst others.

Franz Kafka- The Metamorphosis is a must-read. Then attempt The Trial

Jean-Paul Sartre- He wrote a lot. Famous for Nausea (a novel) and Huis Clos (a play that has about 5 different english names)

turgenev- think he wrote Fathers and Sons?

Macbeth is a play by William Shakespeare. Worth a read.

Victor Hugo- either Hunchback of Notre Dame or Les Miserables. Maybe read both.

Answer 3

Jean Paul Sartre - Being and Nothingness. It's an 800-page book with complex ideas about our existence.

Answer 4

Oh, I forgot the name, but Kant wrote something about how we can never truly know reality, because everything we perceive is just a personal interpretation of reality.

Macbeth is a play by Shakespeare. I don't know any famous writers named Macbeth.. other good Shakespearean plays are Hamlet and Julius Caesar.

Kafka's Metamorphosis is good.

Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, might be interesting to check that out.

Hugo wrote Les Miserables and Hunchback of Nortre Dame, which I hear are good but haven't read yet because they're veeeeeery long.

One of my English teachers loves Camus' The Stranger.
