>The Lusiads, Luís Vaz de Camões
"Written in Homeric fashion, the poem focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. Os Lusíadas is often regarded as Portugal's national epic,[2] much as Virgil's Aeneid was for the Ancient Romans, or Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for the Ancient Greeks. It was written when Camões was an exile in Macau[3] and was first printed in 1572, three years after the author returned from the Indies.[2]"

>Dom Casmurro, Machado de Assis
>Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, Machado de Assis
One of, if not the best Brazilian writers ever to exist

>The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, Guimarães Rosa
Made by also arguably one of the best Brazilian writers it has a very regional dialect and its translation to English does not make justice to the greatness of the book. However, there's a new translation being made: https://www.wordswithoutborders.org/article/july-2016-brazil-beyond-rio-grande-sertaeo-veredas-joao-guimaraes-rosa
