>>68932031
Either Mark Twain or Great Gatsby. Moby Dick is highly overrated and drawn out tbqh

>>68932158
The Catch in the Rye and Moby dick are the most influential works of Anglo literature as far as I'm concerned, I could be wrong but several people think like that

>>68932031
"Dead men", by Jalil Mehmedkuluzadeh.

>>68932296
If we take whole anglo literature, most influental work is "Paradise Lost".

The Emigrants

Really shows how cucked we are by america

>>68932683
>In the winter of 1849, on the day of the christening of their youngest child, Harald, Kristina is preparing a large bowl of barley porridge. Their eldest child, four-year-old Anna, determined to have some even after being told she cannot, goes into the cellar where it is left to cool and helps herself to a very large amount of it, so much that she falls terribly ill from it. Karl-Oskar and Kristina send for Beata, a healing woman from Idemo, who upon seeing Anna tells them that after consuming so much porridge, Anna's stomach had burst. The child lingers in agony through the night before dying early the following morning, after which Kristina agrees for them to make the journey to America.

Something by Patrick White most probably. If you mean as it relates to my country in particular then surely 'The Tree of Man' while if you mean most famous then likely 'The Eye of the Storm'

Literally who?

Strindberg is your most influential author (and probably the only one). I know it must be a shame for you because he has a pennis, but it's not my fault.
