Start with the greeks

I'd say you should best look to those works created around 1900 (plus/minus a few decades). Maybe just pick your country's most notable authors of the time.

E.g. any of these author's major works will have plenty of traditional, philosopic depth: Proust, Mann, Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Melville, Soseki.

Works created earlier than that, I feel, are less accessible and partly deal with topics that lost relevance when modern times came around.
Later works tend towards being less universal, or simply eschewing in-text philosophy for more effect-oriented writing.

The one modern book I'd wholeheartedly recommend is Seiobo There Below.

Umberto Eco writes books that are amazingly well researched, informative and fun to read.

Pic related is a great book if you are interested in western esotericism, his book "The Name of The Rose" is great aswell if you want to get a look into medieval monastic life.
