Recs if you like Mephisto...

this is a list consisting of some German books that are considered classics by the internet (and also me) in their original language. some books may be by Austrian/Swiss authors but they had an impact on German literature. it's a work in progress, so let me know what books I’m missing 🫡

all the classics you might (have had to) read in school in Germany

Books relating to the Faust legend or Faustian Bargains. Morally ambiguous characters. Getting what you asked for, but at what price?

popular, semi popular or once popular german language lit that I find interesting. also, schiller >>> goethe, so no faust 😊
