"Best" books by country (I do not really agree, but it is funny to see Disgrace in S. Africa)

New Zealand

Recommendation by proxy (was told about her, haven't read her but want to)

Anything by Willem Frederik Hermans.
A few things by Harry Mulisch.
Quite a lot (especially the essays) that Simon Vestdijk wrote.
A lot by Hugo Klaus.

Poetic Edda

>:^DDDDD

Memoirs of a Lithuanian intellectual imprisoned in a Nazi concetration camp. Very ironic, pokes fun both at Nazis and Commies.

Bible

The lost empire of wiwuz by King N. Chit

>The Kingdom of This World

I was a little underwhelmed by this. Have you read any other Carpentier, and how would you compare them to Kingdom?

Poland:
-Adam Mickiewicz
-Bruno Schulz
-Witold Gombrowicz
-Czesław Miłosz
-Henryk Sienkiewicz
-Bolesław Prus
-Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz
-Stanisław Lem
-Tadeusz Borowski
(for starters)

Things Fall Apart is actually a proto-fascist novel

It really is.

NZ is coloured in though

Bolano, Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Borges, Donoso, Saramago, Pessoa, Antunes, Jansson, Paasilinna

I know, that's why I wrote it.

The Feast of the Goat was pretty good

Goethe, Mann, Milton, Cervantes, Dante, Homer, Virgil

The Philippines: Noli Me Tangere by Jose Rizal
There are very few novels which carry as much importance to a single society as this. You'd be hard put to travel through a Filipino city without seeing this author popping up somewhere. I live in Montreal, Canada and even here there's a whole park devoted to him. Definately check it out.

did you even read OP's post?

None of them were born in those countries

All of them were born in the red countries.What the fuck user?

You're Chinua Achebe!?!?

>Colors India and China but not Latin America

The Aleph
Ficciones
Hopscotch
Southern Highway
100 Years of Solitud
Sunstone
Pedro Paramo
The Tunnel
The Feast of Goats
2666
The Savage Detectives

A lot of those countries weren't countries when those authors were born. Vergil was born in the Roman Empire not Italy for example

Fucking autism

The Arabian Nights

Jokes on you I was only pretending to be Autism.

but that's all of civilization user...

Most Sub-Saharan African lit is in English or French for obvious reasons
Try Wole Soyinka, Death and the King's Horseman is pretty good

The Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz.

Read this boys

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Viaje a la Semilla by Carpentier, La Noche Boca Arriba by Cortázar, and most stuff by Jorge Luis Borges

Alamut by Vladimir Bartol (Slovenian author)

Not the same guy but this

Came here to recommend this. Long live Biafra.

Afrikaans authors are good. Too lazy to name them.

Because you're a pleb and couldn't name one if you tried

A Bend in the River
A Brief History of Seven Killings

The only other Carpentier I've read was The Chase. I didn't like it as much as The Kingdom of this World to be desu.

...

>great literature
>Slovakia

That's the Czech Republic you dumb burger

To quote op "Recommend me great literature that is not from a country in red."
The Czech Republic is a country in red and next to it, not in red, is Slovakia.
I'm a fucking Czech dude so I'm pretty aware of what is and where is the Czech Republic.

Africa has nothing of valuable literature that the masses should read and know about

>who is coetzee

>Canada is in red

I can name more Latin American writers than Canadian writers. How many great Canadian writers can you name? Are they comparable to the literature of Latin America or the Middle East?

come to brasil

Maldoror. French-language tradition but Uruguayan through and through.

It's not fair to compare a country with a smaller population than California to an entire continent/region.

I almost googled it

Margaret Atwood
Alice Munro
Saul Bellow
William Gibson

There're some from my 3 million population country that are worth a read, but there's no chance those will ever get translated into English. Especially because of the culture-specific items.

The implication was clearly that Slovakia wad in red.

>Gogol
he wrote in Russian, so you'll have to account him as a Russian author.

Sadly, not many Finnish authors have been translated. For example, Volter Kilpi's masterpiece, "Alastalon salissa" (In the Hall of Alatalo), is considered to be the Finnish counterpart to Joyce's Ulysses but it is basically untranslatable because of the complex language and distinct dialect it is written in (it is set in the Turku archipelago with most characters being sea captains). I personally like Kjell Westö, who actually writes in Swedish (he's a Finnish-Swede). Many of his books tell stories of ordinary people living in Helsinki (the capital of Finland) during the recent history of the city. I don't think Westö's books are available in English, either.

Of course, Mika Waltari with his "Egyptian" and other books should be available in most Western countries with translations into English, German and French. Waltari is worth reading. Ilmari Kianto's "The Red Line" should also be available in English, it is about the first parliamentary elections with universal suffrage in Finland (1907) and about the hopes and dreams of the poor people.

In the non-fiction department, and if you are interested in philosophy, I can recommend Georg Henrik von Wright's books. He was a friend and student of Ludwig Wittgenstein and a Cambridge professor inheriting Wittgenstein's chair. His early works mostly concern analytical philosophy and logic, his later works are more social criticism and Spenglerian philosophy of history.

P.S. Seeing that Austria isn't painted red, I strongly suggest you check out Thomas Bernhard and Peter Handke. They're both brilliant Austrian authors and should be available in English.
