Why wait for a national heritage celebration to enjoy books written in different countries? Here is a list of recommended books which have been translated into English or originally published outside of the United States.

Whether you find yourself traveling back in time in a Japanese cafe, on a train to Bologna, Italy, or traipsing the dark woods in the Polish countryside, you will be transported into amazing worlds that are connected through shared human concerns and needs.

These global works are by far some of the most outstanding, moving, and quirkiest pieces of literature you will ever read.
