Hey fellow book lovers! I want to read books/classics from all over the world. Please recommend me favorites from your home-country, something you would want others to know/to read. Already looking forward to your suggestions!

Blindness by José Saramago

But don't read it at face value it's really an allegory.

Sounds really interesting. While reading about the story on Wikipedia, I saw that there is a second part called Seeing. Definetly want to see what everything means.

The second one isn't as good though.

The first one is amazing although a bit hard to read, both due to its writing style and content.
