What are some books about 8-15 year old boys? Preferably books with no women in them. I have read Tom Brown's Schooldays and Oliver Twist, and I enjoyed them both, except I didn't like the parts of Oliver Twist that were about romance.

Gerard Reve, Werther Nieland (in Childhood: Two Novellas)

If you're interested in owning books physically, then buy the Masterpiece Library edition, as they're really high quality for the price range they're offering. Hardcover, satin bookmark ribbon. Pretty front cover art lol.

The London publisher Arcadian Dreams kinda specializes in books related to young boys lol. They have a rather decent selection of classics I must say. Do note that some get rather. . . Pederastic though

The entire passage of jim being held up in the barn and sawyer turning it into this absurd exercise to free him feels completely disjointed from the rest of the book, his personality also completely changes out of nowhere. I usually dont have very hard feelings on books but that ending felt as if it was written to piss people off.

Why? Boys aren't attracted to other boys and even less to old men.

If you're willing to delve into East Asian literature
then there are many books featuring young boys as titular protagonists or central and integral parts to the story.

Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin

Kong Yiji (12 year old apprentice)
From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study (another young apprentice story) Both are written by Lu Xun

And going back to western stories with orientalist roots, Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze by Elizabeth Lewis is a children's book and features the protagonist as a young boy of the age of 13 (he does however age later in the story)

>>24513554
>Sicilian Vespers
who's the author?

enough shotaslop, where is the /ss/ literature

>>24514518
Not anon, but if my guess is correct, I think he's thinking of a posthumous publishing by Michael Davidson, which isn't really shotacore at all. More like NAMBLAcore, which one might think is the same thing but is actually very, very different. Don't know why he would recommend such a book in this thread lol
>>24514513
ignoring the pederasty comment, I guess you were only focusing on Classical Chinese literature? If we go to a little more modern works (although this book was still published in 1975), then I think that Dragonwings is an AMAZING suggestion, although you may relate to it more if you're an immigrant rather than white lol.

For Korean and Japanese works, "How do you Live" and "A Riot of Goldfish" by Genzaburō Yoshino and Okamoto Kanoko are great works featuring rather young male protagonists. Meanwhile the Stone Home (although very modern) features two teenaged aged boys (~15) forming a deep brotherly bond under abusive conditions in which they reside in

I'd definitely recommend Dragonwings though, probably a favourite of mine

How boring. A man who can't appreciate fine boys in their primacy and youth does not deserve fine adults in their maturity and elegance.

Stories involving Children are referred as social classics worldwide for many reasons. Ignoring gender entirely, Anne of Green Gables alone is far more respectable than any slop your average NewGen author could cook up. Lord of the Flies is deified as a King amongst classics, and it's the antithesis of featuring "adult characters doing adult things". The Little Prince, as short and quaint as it is, deals with the philosophy of childhood innocence and touches a reader deeper than anything Suzanne Collins could think of

Expand your horizons a little, why don't you?

>>24514850
I appreciate your introspection anon but how do you jump from such reasoning about the philosophical value of youth in art to wanting to rape children

>>24513554
>Real intellectuals realize that boys belong with other boys and older men only
Real intellectual realize that boys belong with other boys and that the experience of youthful male friendships is deeply meaningful but transient and should be treasured in memory and expressed through stories about boys, of equal age, bonding with each other.
Older men preying on boys must be found, castrated without anesthetics, given a false vagina and dress and sent in the midst of a horde of Jeets kept perpetually horny through denial of porn and masturbation and fed, upon the pedo's into their midst, superhuman doses of metamphetamine. The orgy finished, the pedo's cadaver, fucked in holes natural and manmade, with Jeet cum bubbling out if his ears, nostrils, eyes sockets, must be incinerated and the ash and bones collected by a macumba practitioner who will put the pedo's remain in a jar and thus keep the pedo's spirit perpetually bound to him and fed on his pozzed negro cum, piss, and shit as form of ritual offering, while the horde of Jeets must be murdered so that they could rape the pedo's spirit in the astral world until it's time for them to reincarnate.

>>24515126
I fear that nobody mentioned raping little boys. We may both be speaking the same language, but we must not be understanding English the same way

>>24514555
What's the actual premise of the story here. You mentioned each chapter being a short story, but I'm not seeing any section dividers, and the first few pages throw me into a world utterly incomprehensible to me, like I'm missing a minute but crucial piece of context to make sense of the whole matter

Did Andre Gide ever right about "Little Mohammad" from the perspective of the boy. If so, that could counted a story featuring young boys lol

i mean if you're self aware enough to realize that you don't truly long for the external object but rather an alteration to your understanding of your own subject then you're probably self aware enough to realize that actually raping a child is far more trouble than it's worth, to put it lightly. Do you think there might be a more productive direction for your desire for healing to pull you towards?

Amazed no one has mentioned The Body by Stephen King (in the collection Different Seasons). Stand by Me is the film adaptation and also excellent.

>>24522114

>>24522124
I haven't read that book in over two years and yet the blueberry vomit contagion and the leech sucking lake scene were so eloquently written and so vividly boyish I still remember every detail in full. I second anon and this is DEFINITELY a book to pick up if you're looking for boyhoodcore literature. Honestly, most of the suggestions in this thread are pretty damn good lol. You guys have great taste
>>24522046
Reasonable and respectable proposition . You shouldn't expect the worst out of someone who's asking something in presumably good faith, especially on a slow and semi-serious board such as /lit/ (or maybe not worst or even bad based on how you look at it, but still culturally against the norm) but this is 4chan, the average person here is bound to be more deviant than most. And considering how /cm/ adjacent this whole thread is, and the admissions of shotacon (or more. . . 3DPD) inclinations by the anons here you can't be mad that someone would expect a more sleazy motive for making such a thread haha.

>>24524890
They're in love with the platonic ideal of youth (or rather their own idealized childhood). Actual 8-15 year old boys are nothing like what shotacons fantasize about.

>>24524890
There's no need to fight amongst the two. To truly love the little boy or the little girl is to have a natural penchant for artistic genius and unconventional expression. Whether through art, through writing, or through song. Da Vinci, Andre Gide, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Mann., Vladimir Nabokov, Balthus. All are regarded as geniuses in their field, and all were largely unashamed in their expressions of attraction

You even have modern creatives like Min Heejin or Mamoru Hosoda who put their bare feelings on the table, and have been given nothing but prestige for it.

Modern society has demonized the purest form of love

Your only interaction with shotacons must be through /cm/ lol. While the idealization of Youth is a very common theme, shotacons are a very, very vast set of people, and a non-insignifcant portion of them are perfectly fine or even aroused by how real 8-15 year old boys act. (And if you're a toddlercon, throw boys as young as 4 into the mix)

>>24526055
I'm at the stage of my life where I've seen enough and experienced enough to believe if you aren't a pedophile you won't be Uber-successful in life. Which must be why I'm fucking broke

>>24522436
Aren't a lot of Stephen King's works male Youth Focused other than The Body? It, Apt Pupil, The Talisman, The Long Walk, would all probably be right up this thread's alley. Although they'll be way more grisly and noire than most of the books recommended here, they still very much fit..

this is because women don't actually read books they read factory produced "romance" slop where some russian girl called Anastasia gets gangbanged by three white men. There's no substance to these books. No plot worth even remembering. It's soulless garbage

How is it rape if you like it lol? You think these boylove stories were all nonconsensual? The boys themselves played a major role in making it happen.

Most noncecore fiction is hardly rapey. Not even Lolita (unless you're a normal fag), which is the most famous work of the genre

>>24530877
I was thinking more about real life cases like the guy who fucked his teacher and her friend who was also moderately attractive in a threesome. It was definitely consensual since he bragged about it in school. But legally it's "rape" just for the fact that he was a minor. I don't make the rules, so I don't care if you disagree, so it is what it is. That said, I agree that such scenarios are completely consensual and and kid must have been in paradise knowing that an adult woman was willing to cheat on her husband to call her friend and have a threesome with that guy. His confidence probably skyrocketed since then and he went on to be successful in all future endeavours. Unlike me who suffered from depression for being a virgin and almost got kicked out of college for this. I wish I grew up as a winner.

>>24530895
I mean it depends from person to person. A guy could "get raped" by an extremely hot chick and still internalize it as "rape" if 1) He didn't actually enjoy it and/or 2) He tells others and they keep insisting that he's a victim and he then internalizes the idea. Your friend was lucky, really lucky that he both wanted to do it and that there was no genuine coercion at play other hand other than the "implication" of "hot teacher cheats on her husband to fuck middle school (or highschool idk) boy

I enjoy reading fiction related to boylove (and boys in general, not just romantic or sexual) because they're pretty idealized. Very idealized. Based in reality? Yes, very much so. Manipulated so only the best of what reality could potentially offer and the worst of what reality could potentially choke you with? Also certainly correct. I mean, I was once that very young boy chasing after older guys who most certainly knew it was "wrong" to court me. My experiences were hardly as magical as what Thomas Mann or Andre Gide or E. E Bradford write it out to be. Yes, some were fun, some felt good. But some also sucked. Really sucked. And I hate that it sucked . And I hate the guys who made it suck. Engulfing myself in the romanticized literature involving this form of love allows me to rewrite a past that would have strongly longed for the impossible written between these pages.

You shouldn't feel like having sex with your teacher would have saved you, anon. It wouldn't have. I fucked my extremely attractive (male) private math tutor as a young boy, I still ended up extremely suicidal lol

>>24531008
Literarily speaking, you should greentext your experiences.

>>24530877
>Most noncecore fiction is hardly rapey. Not even Lolita (unless you're a normal fag), which is the most famous work of the genre
It's actually extremely manipulative and shows subtle manipulation and abuse of the boy at the hands of the older man. The fiction is written in a pastoral light mode to make it all seem like a game and to hide the fact of obvious abuse of a boy. It's essentially written by pedos, so of course they would lighten up the fucked up situation to excuse themselves and not confront the utter horror of reality.
Lolita is exemplary, because it shows how a pedo twists everything to justify his rape - Lolita actually wanted, I was the good guy, it was love. If you're smart enough to see beyond the fancy prose style and the surface layer you'll understand that Lolita is an actual horror novel. Remember that Nabokov collected butterflies and was aware of mimicry. I think this interest enters heavily into Lolita, where an unreliable narrators presents himself as something else than he really is: a fucking pedo.
The boys making it happen is also a very pedophilic excuse, since it shifts the blame away from the adult onto the boys, who is easily manipulated.
>Hey, little guy, do you like playing with butts?
>Me and Joe slap each other butts
>Can I slap you, too?
>Hmmmmm
>Are we not friends?
>I guess.
>Do friends touch each other butts?
>Me and Joe do. I guess yeah.
>And if I'm your friend?
You see where this is going. It's easy for a pedo to reframe this as the boy consenting instead of admitting it's manipulation. That's why pedos are scum that should be raped and killed on sight.
I've read some Acolyte press, and it was the most disgusting material I've ever read - an I've read Bataille and everything by Burroughs - because exactly of that light playful tone obscuring obvious manipulation of young boys by men in position of power. I wish I had never read that fucking shit. It was psychopathic to the extreme.
The best shota material is actually written by women because it features boys of the same age doing romantic and happy things instead of being cruelly abused and discarded by older men.

Ehh, I don't wanna clog up the thread with blogposts. Only came here to recommend books about cute boys and see if I missed any others I haven't discovered. Anon's post just got a reaction outta me lol. By the way, read the book Nobody Knows based on Kore-eda's film of the same name. I thought it was pretty good
>>24531082
This is all fine and dandy, except you forget that there are genuinely kids who seek out relationships with adults and enjoy the adult's presence in their life, even sexually. I mean I said I was one of them lol. Children aren't divinely pure beings with zero sexual or romantic capacity incapable of having a lewd thought until they reach the age of 18. To deny this is to fully deny reality and the experiences of many gay youth. That's pretty puritanical even, which is strange because I get the impression that most people on this board are agnostic at best.
>>24531137
Ahh yes, Jews, the totally holistic and monolith race are why pedophilia is demonized and you can't have your underaged (boy)wife. Totally not the same pair of Jews who were rampant boylovers in France and much of Europe and advocated age of consent reform (in terms of lowering it), and romanticized pedophilia and hebephilia as the purest forms of love. In fact, while we're at it, Jews killed my Grandma and caused the AIDS pandemic as well, just for good measure
