läderfodral med broderi på och bjöd därpå brodern ur en låda, som fått sin plats i närheten av kaminen, emedan cigarrerna -- »väncigarrerna», som han öppet kallade dem, och han var en öppen natur -- hade varit med om ett skeppsbrott, vilket gjorde dem mycket intressanta, om icke så goda, och en strandauktion, vilket gjorde dem mycket billiga. -- Nåå, vad har du att andraga? frågade Carl Nicolaus i det han tände sin cigarr och därefter stoppade tändsticksasken i fickan -- av tankspriddhet, ty han kunde icke hålla tankarna samlade på mera än ett ställe, inom en krets, vilken var icke mycket vid, hans skräddare kunde på tummen säga _huru_ vid, när han tog mått om hans liv. -- Jag tänkte få tala om våra affärer, svarade Arvid och tummade sin otända cigarr. -- Sitt! kommenderade brodern. Det var alltid hans vana att bedja folk sitta, då han skulle ta itu med dem, ty han hade dem då under sig och kunde lättare krossa dem -- om så behövdes. -- Våra affärer! Ha vi några affärer? började han. Jag vet inte det! Har _du_ några affärer, _du_? -- Jag menade endast, att jag ville veta om jag hade någonting att få

The MetamorphosisWhy Type a Masterpiece?
Typing out classical literature is not just an exercise in patience; it's a deeply immersive way to understand the rhythm, structure, and nuances of great writing. By manually reproducing the works of renowned authors, you engage with the text on a level that reading alone cannot offer. This method allows you to feel the flow of sentences, the choice of words, and the intricate construction of paragraphs that make these works timeless.
Style is a very simple matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can't use the wrong words.
– Virginia Woolf
literati is a unique platform where writers can select from a vast collection of public domain classics to type out. This practice is akin to a musician playing pieces by the masters to internalize the elements of composition and performance. Just as the musician learns the subtleties of each note and chord, the writer learns the power of each word and sentence.
Prose is like hair; it shines with combing.
– Gustave Flaubert
Engaging directly with masterpieces allows writers to absorb the rhythm of the text, the ebb and flow of its pacing, and the beauty of its imagery. It cultivates an appreciation for the craft of writing and provides invaluable lessons in how to construct compelling narratives, develop characters, and evoke emotions in readers. Happy typing!
The only truth is music.
– Jack Kerouac
