Classic Literature around the World
The intention of this list is to highlight classic literature from around the World. This is excluding the USA and UK from this list because they get enough attention. (Just kidding but also... not 🤭)
Curated by the PB community from 🔗this PB club post please check out this club post for the original recommendation and any possible additions that I haven't added to the list.
Any suggestions welcome! I am special requesting suggestions from Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. As long as the book is considered classic literature in your country, I want to hear about it!
Translated Fiction from the Baltic States
The Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) have some amazing books filled with stories inspired by the countries occupations by the Soviet Union, their hardships, their resilience and their resolve to revolt and find their independence. Not a lot of people know much about those three states let alone about their literature.
I have attempted to make this list with books that I believe need to be discovered and read by more people!

Iconic Finnish literature
Some of the most iconic Finnish books every Finnish person has read or at least acknowledge as timeless classics.
P.S. These authors have so many other captivating books but the ones chosen are the most popular of the bunch. Some books didn't have an English translation here but they're still worth reading if you're able to.
