Non-Western Classics - Page 3

I'm kinda tired of seeing the same classics over and over again in the lists. So I decided to make a list that includes non-Western classics, most of which I personally haven't heard of. I don't wanna get into technicalities here, but by "non-Western" I basically mean authors from countries that are not North American (excluding indigenous authors), European (including east Europe) and Russia. I think these books also deserve attention and maybe we can find a new favourite :)
The sources I used for this list were:
- https://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/nov/26/the-non-western-books-that-every-student-should-read
- https://thegreatestbooks.org/non-western
https://www.penguin.co.uk/penguin-classics/classics-list
- and some recs from reddit
