>Despite an abundance of literature, I don't think we really have a 'national' book. Perhaps our regional cultures are too different for a unitary experience for literature.

Eneyida by Kotliarevsky, if you wanna get classic literature with whole bunch obscene saynigs try this.
Children in Ukraine must learn text where word "whore" is in every third sentence.

Adrian Gutierrez
I don't know maybe something by Steinback, Hemingway or Twain. We don't have an epic and a lot of our authors are specific to the brief time period they lived in.
Samuel Perry
norwegian folktales :^)
Bentley Ramirez
What about Ulysses?
Carter Sanders
Gotta be the Divine Comedy by Dante
Robert Kelly
The most well-known one would be Shirish ko phool(The Blue Mimosa)
Easton Thompson
Don't you guys have the Ulster Cycle?
Connor Evans
How about Moby Dick?
Jonathan Flores
id say the adventures of tom sawyer is the most recognizable one
Brody Torres
When I was in St Petersburg, my tour guide told me that actually Russians don't care too much for Dostoevsky, and much prefer Gogol. So he said Dead Souls is a much better book to represent Russia - is it true?
Hudson Parker
I guess in Spain that might be, but that's not the view in the US. If it is a Twain book at all, it would probably be Huckleberry Finn. Tom Sawyer is considered to be more for children.
It might be Moby Dick.
Kevin Jackson
oh yes, huckleberry finn, i always mess up with the other one. both are very good representatives of american literature id say
i wonder if theres any info on whats the most recognized novel of each country according to foreigners
Anthony Lewis
Siegfried the dragon slayer.
Jaxon Lee
Actually russians dont care about all their literature. It read in school and nevermore.
Zachary Harris
For Spain, in the US it's definitely Don Quixote. Maybe La Celestina and Lazarillo would be 2nd and 3rd if they are somewhat familiar with classic Spanish literature, but far more people would know of Don Quixote than the other two.
Angel Powell
Is Gogol's Ukrainian stuff considered part of the national canon in Ukraine? I've only read his Russian stuff (in translation)
Brayden Anderson
I doubt since he was pro-russian even in his Ukrainian works
Tyler Kelly
>La Celestina
odd, theater plays are not very popular
Sebastian Nguyen
Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo
William Brooks
Great Gatsby
Jackson Moore

Also could be The Mangy Parrot or The labyrinth of solitude.

idk, the national epic poem I guess.

William Garcia
Your guide lied about Dostoevsky, but about Gogol's Dead Souls it's true yes.
Ayden King
I don't know, maybe Tradiciones peruanas by Ricardo Palma.
Joseph Young

Gorky is the best to represent common rural russians. Chekhov, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Dostoevsky to represent elites and some specific classes. Russian literature is huge and full of wisdom actually. I cant say that someone is better than other. They all greatly contributed. I personally like dark Dostoyevsky vibes.
Juan Johnson
Martín Fierro, argies usually quote it. The story of an antisocial gaucho, the country modernization in the late XIX and the loss of the past, indians fucking shits, the individual vs the government etc.
Bentley Garcia
en.wikipedia.org
it's our national epos, not sure if it really does represent German literature though (or if you could even point out one book that does)
Cooper Davis
Personally I’d say The Adventures of Huck Finn. You could argue for Moby Dick or something by Faulkner too.
Benjamin Gray
A Confederacy of Dunces unequivocally
If you've read it you know what I mean
Angel Evans

Owen Hall
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance was vastly better, m8.
Lucas Green
Zen is definitely a piece of good Americana
I'd argue for A Confederacy because of it's truth in showing American life for the modern era and it's roots
Daniel Ortiz
Nosov - Dunno on the moon
Charles Brown

our national epos, but it's written in old norse, not norwegian
Jaxon Walker
Let me read it please
David Lopez
It's hard to choose between this, Baltagul, Moromeții and Cel mai iubit dintre pământeni, but of them, this is my favorite.

Brayden Russell
Owen Richardson
Moby-Dick or Huckleberry Finn
Luke Robinson
This one maybe? Don't know, we don't have many good books
William Brooks
Not sure, there are too many. If I wanted to be elitist I'd say In search of lost time.
