I nästa ögonblick var Borg nere från trädet och stoppade sedeln i sin
ficka.

Därpå tog han av sig överrocken.

-- Tag  dig! sade Struve befallande.

-- Ska jag ta  mig! Vad säger du för slag! Befaller du mig? Va! Säger
du att jag ska? Säger du det! Kanske du vill slåss!

Han slog härvid sin hatt mot trädstammen,  att den krossades, varpå
han tog av sig frack och väst och lät regnet piska  bara skjortan!

-- Kom hit nu, din murvel,  ska vi slåss!

Därmed sprang han Struve om livet, backade med honom  att båda stupade
i diket.

Falk satte i gång åt staden det fortaste han kunde, men ännu långt efter

Why 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
