Röda Rummet
--  du frågar! svarade Falk tvivelaktigt.

-- Hur mycket behöver du? Jag kan skaffa!

-- Är det allvar? sade Falk och hans ansikte ljusnade.

-- Allvar! Hm! Wie viel? Summan! Siffran! Rubriken!

-- Å, ja, en sextio riksdaler skulle vara bra att ha!

-- Det var en blygsam karl, sade Borg och vände sig till Levin.

-- Ja, det var fasligt lite! vidtog denne. Tag för dig du, Falk, medan
det står öppet.

-- Nej, det vill jag inte! Jag behöver inte mer och kan inte sätta mig i
större skuld. För övrigt vet jag ju inte när det skall betalas!

-- Tolv riksdaler var sjätte månad, tjugufyra riksdaler om året, i två
rapp, svarade Levin säkert och distinkt.

-- Det är ju billiga villkor, sade Falk. Var  ni pengar  sådana?

-- I Vagnmakarbanken! -- Tag fram papper och penna, Levin!

Denna hade redan reversal, penna och ett portativt bläckhorn i handen.
Reversalet var redan ifyllt av de andra. När Falk såg siffran åtta
hundra, tvekade han ett ögonblick.

-- Åtta hundra riksdaler? sade han frågande.

-- Tag mera du , om du inte är nöjd.

-- Nej, jag vill inte; och det gör ju detsamma vem som tar pengarna,
bara de betalas ordentligt. För övrigt,  ni pengar  sådana här

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
