What are the greatest foreign writers and what are their books?

Question

Please exclude writers from U.S and Britain since i already know a lot of them. i'm trying to read something from outside of U.S

Answer 1

miguel cervantes and his, "don quixote" (sometimes, "quijote").

jorge luis borges - all works (except his poetry - not having read it, i can't recommend it)

the author of, "if on a winter's night a traveller,,," (yes that's the name of the book, and i suggest you NOT start with that one), whose name escapes me, just now. try, "invisible cities". ah! italo calvino is the author (i'm old! my memory's bad!)

umberto eco - all works

alexandre dumas, pere - all works, pretty much (somewhat lighter than the other stuff, above)

that's a start (and a damned good one).
