Fast Literature #7 brings together six new stories in a single video for binge-watching. In this seventh installment, we delve into the stories of Joseph Brodsky, Don Quixote, Selma Lagerlöf, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann, and Hermann Hesse.

A poet forced to defend before a tribunal that writing was also work; a knight who lost battle after battle and yet managed to conquer oblivion; a school assignment transformed into a child's journey on the back of a goose; a prince whose kindness baffled everyone; a composer whose dark pact foreshadowed the fall of a nation; and a young man who sought truth amidst teachers, austerity, and wealth before pausing to listen to a river.

Six stories about vocation, ideals, learning, compassion, ambition, and the inner search. Six different ways to lose yourself in literature once again.

This is the seventh episode of a special series, created for those who enjoy discovering stories, curiosities, and unforgettable moments from the literary world in short installments.

Every Sunday, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll have a new "6 in 1."
