About this channel
I am Laura, a PhD student of Comparative Literature in Germany researching hermeneutics and aesthetics. I love reading classics from ancient to modern times. At the moment, I am making my way through ancient and medieval stories that have influenced modern-day fantasy and science fiction literature. Besides that I also make videos in which I introduce aspects of my field of research in literary theory and also cover contemporary books every now and then.

I tend to agree with your comments on Gatsby, but I read it again a few years ago and really appreciated Fitzgerald's depiction of wealthy Americans. The bird sounds are wonderful. 👍

Personally I quite enjoyed “Wuthering Heights”, but of course tastes vary and enjoyment is subjective. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure I'd be able to pull it off but I'd love a red jacket like that, very striking! Q6: does Ovid's Metamorphoses count? hehe. Maybe in 1000 years (if we survive that long), a classic retelling written today will become a classic of tomorrow?

Even Jane Eyre? This is the one I liked most of the Brontes
