Nominate your best authors by language
English: Shakespeare, bar none. Although Milton was darn good, as was Chaucer.
King Lear or Henry the Eighth. Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, the best short story of all time. French: Victo Hugo, Les Mis, nothing even close. German: Goethe, Schilling or Lessing. Faust or Nathan the Wise. Chinese: don't read it well enough to opine though there are many classics. Japanese: same as above. Russian: Doystoyevski, or Tolstoi. I liked Anna Karenina or Brothers Karamosov. Spanish: not certain, still deciding. Cervantes, but a long read. Italian: oh geeze, the levels of heaven and hell, his name, or crimeny.
