The Ultimate Best Novels From All Around the World

You can never find all the important novels around the World but you can always try. I made an effort to gather as many masterpieces, decade definers or just highly intrestring ones as I could.
The first 100 is a result of an inner research of the ultimate top 100 best novels ever written. I analyzed top lists on the web and gave numbers to the titles based on their spot on different lists. I found that those lists that were made in English language countries were a bit biased towards English or American entries so I tried to be more democratic towards every other parts of the World.
After the first 100, the list is in chronological and geographical order. In every century I was travelling around the Globe from West to East. The last 21 entries are important pieces of sci-fi and fantasy literature. I really wanted to show beautiful stories from all regions of the World, I hope I succseeded, and the list made lesser read national literatures more visible.
I hope you will enjoy it:)
