I don't know if I could choose just one book for every language, but it's easier with authors:

Shakespeare (Its is possible to choose only one?)
Cervantes (Don Quixote for sure)
Proust (In Search of Lost Time)
Tolstoi (Anna Karenina or War and Peace)

And it still would be a pity. How could we forget to mention Melville, Quevedo, Hugo, Dostoievski, etc.?

Also, why didn't OP include German? Anyways, the book chosen would be Faust or The Magic Mountain. Probably.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 12 19:33:36 2015 No.5988608 Seriously, putting Spanish literature on this list and not German is ignorant. I don't mean that Spanish literature is bad or anything, but if you're gonna put it on this list and exclude German you've fucked up bad somewhere.
