Wow this was great

great video about this book, but the other author you reference, goethe; his name's pronounced gerh-tah, not gothe.

I love this book. PS: How to pronounce Karel Capek: ua-cam.com/video/Wv0sIwyCpcI/v-deo.html

The movie basically preaches Arianism and Nestorianism at the same time lol

"Chat gpt I need you to wite and narate a summary of a book so I can create some content on the tube"

a film that convinced me to find god through jesus.

Beautiful, thank you ❤️

Keep pushing if able been awhile

Great job. I'd like to see you do a longer video with more excerpts from the novels. My least favourite Pynchon novels are Vineland and V., in that order. I really like Against the Day, even though it could be a slog at times, and I love Inherent Vice, which seems to me to be a much better attempt at what he tried to do with Vineland (the death of the hippie dream, the hypocrisy of former hippies embracing Reaganomics). Gravity's Rainbow is beautiful. Sumptuously readable. Those first few pages are just gorgeous. Naptha winters, I would coat all the booze corroded stomachs of England, banana pancakes for breakfast, Slothrop imagining a V2 rocket landing right on top of his head... I love this passage from Inherent Vice. "Was it possible, that at every gathering- concert, peace rally, love-in, be-in, and freak in, here, up north, back east, wherever - those dark crews had been busy all along, reclaiming the music, the resistance to power, the sexual desire from epic to everyday, all they could sweep up, for the ancient forces of greed and fear?" It's classic Pynchon. The omniscient "They" of paranoid Pynchonland were there even as he frolicked on Manhattan Beach and smoked joints and lowered the blinds to work on Gravity's Rainbow for days on end. What if even the most innocent and wholesome hours of his life were monitored and recorded and kept on file?

There is an inaccuracy: "winterbourne insists on accompanying her" never happens actually, it is her that asks him. Here is the quote from 1978 version: ‘Gracious me!’ Daisy exclaimed, ‘I don’t want to do anything improper. There’s an easy way to settle it.’ She continued to glance at Winterbourne. ‘The Pincio is only a hundred yards distant, and if Mr Winterbourne were as polite as he pretends he would offer to walk with me!’

This movie is a pile of💩

For Pynchon, nothing happens by accident; for Vonnegut, everything happens by accident. Cabal or chaos? I lean more toward Vonnegut.

well i just finished it and i have to say i found it to be quite complicated xd im trying to read more and i found this quite tricky. checking out a few vids like this to help me out haha cos i need it a bit. thanks!

Totalitarianism will take some from each and use them flexibly to suppress the people.

My Opinion, It Clearly Shows Mary was a Whore, the Wisemen were Clients & Jesus was Spawned with no Father! Makes More Sense than the Christian Religious Version!

MAGA

Against the Day is my favorite novel of all time

It's pronounced 'chapek' not 'kapek'

The novel is a rebuke of those who deny freedom. It is a critique of militant atheism on one hand, and the new atheism of the early 21st century on the other. In 2018, it had become clear that the new atheism movement was dead. New atheism denied freedom in the same way that Soviet style atheism did - they believed that it should belong only to the most powerful elite and to no one else. Bulkakov criticised this notion, leaving people convinced that capitalism and free markets are a better option than socialism. Thanks for your video. Best wishes from Iceland.

I love everything about this video! Accessible yet nuanced and complex; an engaging editing style that was extremely interesting; a clear familiarity with Pynchon instead of a Wikipedia-like regurgitation of facts. This is going to prove a great resource for those wanting to get into Pynchon!

Lit Tips should come back

I love how Last Temptation basically constructs a story to explain the dissonance between “why have you forsaken me?” and “all is accomplished”. The fact is these two quotes come from two different Gospels. This is why they depict two very different attitudes from Jesus. Afraid and desperate in the first, confident in the second. But movies usually don’t care and just insert both in rapid succession, which makes the man sound confused to say the least. Last Temptation remedied by putting the titular last temptation in the middle, which explains WHY Jesus went from desperate back to hopeful.

Wow I need this book asap. Thanks for the succinct and revelatory intro.

One of my favorite authors. Trying to dedicate my life to delve into studies of Bernhard, probably till the day i die. Currently still in my undergrad though.

This is so good

👍🙏👏❤

Love the video

Tbis made me tear up a bit😢

Just finished ib lit exams. Gonna reward myself to some actually interesting literature hahaha

Chapter 38 of Wind-up bird is heartbreaking. For me it's one of the best pieces of prose ever written.

I got to the part of Gravity's Rainbow where an entire page was written in Sanscrit and decided the pretentious twit had absolutely nothing to say.

Lol the bible itself is a work of historical fiction

Whats the point? The Gospel whether you believe it or not claims to be a historically accurate take on the character and events surrounding Jesus’ ministry. TLTOC claims to be a fictional work from the imagining of one man. Why would anyone choose the later over the former. It will never and can never compete with the cultural and spiritual impact of the Gospel and it admits to being false witness. For those who say it helped them relate by presenting a “human” Jesus. The humanity of Jesus is all over the Gospel. If your Church never explored it then read it for yourself. The apostles and common people also present relatable human figures in the narrative.

3:52 Is that the Washington Hilton where Reagan was shot?

At the end of the day none of us were there, even in the Bible Jesus had his doubts at moments who knows what the truth was how much of him was man? How much of him was God?

The Confidence Man is my favorite Melville novel, aside from Moby Dick. Truly a neglected masterpiece.

🎉

Really enjoyed this analysis. Quick question, do you have the name of the song that plays at 7:30?

Зачем унижать автора объяснением романа на уровне анализа Гарри Поттера. Зачем Булгакову писать роман так долго и мучительно ради таких простых тем. Зачем говорить о деталях, на которые акцентировал Булгаков, если все сводится к пониманию Сталин гулаг коммунизм...

As far as I know, I've read everything Pynchon has published, every article and foreword, and, of course, every book, some of them multiple times. There's a LOT of truth in what Pynchon writes about BUT, of course, it's not the entire truth. He's a great gateway to doing your own research into all these matters. For example, secret societies exist but they are not uniform at all. Even within one of them, you will find different battling factions. The only thing we can say for certain is that official history as it's been handed down to us is a pack of lies and coverups. The Firesign Theater's "Everything You Know is Wrong" sums that up nicely. Here's a Pynchonian truth, for example, that must be expanded upon. As you note, Pynchon wonders in Mason & Dixon if there were a malevolent spirit (or spirits) existing in the Americas ready to pounce on the naive. Well, not only did the native Americans think this was so but the secret societies of Europe thought so as well, and this is why, although the ancients all knew the Americas existed, they put a kabosh on exploring the Americas until the late 15th century, the Age of Exploration. They thought that human beings had to develop further in order to be able to resist these malevolent spiritual forces that exist in the Americas. They may have jumped the gun too soon, though. Right now, we're witnessing these bad spirits tearing apart all the good that was incorporated in the founding of the country. Pynchon also, in Gravity's Rainbow reveals the weirdnesses around the Nazi rocket program that we incorporated into this country both during and after the war. WWII for the U.S. government was a big effort at bringing Nazism into the U.S. and hiding it in aerospace, financial, military, intelligence, and pharma structures. Pynchon, himself, met some of these ex-Nazi engineers and scientists at Boeing. And there they remain today causing 90% of all ill on the planet. Pynchon is indispensable but only a starting point for all this. My advice is to read everything Pynchon has ever written and, then, keep reading and researching those points that you find most fascinating. Worth a lifetime of study.

Please dont stop making videos! I want more!

I found this vid when it had 666 likes...

we have all sorts of temptation nowadays, it's so easy to get lost, but then the Lord gives us strength against adversity, let's read the book, let's watch the movie, there's no harm if you know who you are. Let's be critic.

Bernhard is fantastic.

The ban was so idiotic. Isn't Jesus especially virtuous because he overcame all his doubts and fears? The scale of his altruism is even greater because he was afraid to sacrifice himself. Instead of excommunicating the church should have blessed Katzanzakis.

wow! what an amazing amazing video!! thankyou so much for this amazing content!

You

This video is so enjoyable ❤❤❤ thank you

This is just the wikipedia article. 7:00 plagirism?
