Sidsel Langröckchen by Hans Aanrud
Authors: Aanrud, Hans, 1863-1953
Have you ever met a character who feels so real, you'd swear you know them? That's Sidsel. This little Norwegian girl with the long skirt is about to have the most important day of her life. It's not a grand adventure with dragons or magic spells. It's the day she gets to go to the big farm alone to watch the cows. To her, it's everything. The book follows her simple journey, but trust me, every step feels huge. It's about seeing the world through the eyes of a child, where a puddle is an ocean and a field is a kingdom. It's quiet, charming, and will make you remember what it was like to be small in a big, wide world.

Tubutsch by Albert Ehrenstein
Authors: Ehrenstein, Albert, 1886-1950
Ever had one of those days where everything feels slightly off and you're just drifting through life? Meet Tubutsch, the original sad-sack hero of modern literature. This isn't an action-packed adventure—it's a quiet, darkly funny portrait of a man who can't seem to connect with the world around him. Written in 1911, it feels shockingly modern in its exploration of loneliness and the absurdity of everyday life. If you've ever felt like an outsider looking in, Tubutsch might just be your long-lost literary soulmate. It's short, strange, and surprisingly moving.

Der junge Gelehrte: Ein Lustspiel in drei Aufzügen by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Authors: Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim, 1729-1781
Ever met someone so obsessed with their own intelligence they become completely clueless about real life? That's Damis, the 'young scholar' in Lessing's hilarious 1748 comedy. He's buried in books, convinced he's the smartest man alive, while everyone around him sees the truth: he's missing the point of everything. The real fun starts when his clever servant, Anton, and the sharp-witted woman he loves, Lisette, decide to teach him a lesson he won't find in any of his dusty tomes. It's a 250-year-old play that feels like it was written yesterday about that friend who can't stop mansplaining.

It's short, intense, and shows you the very human heart behind the guy who would later write 'The Divine Comedy.' A truly unique glimpse into the birth of a literary legend.
