I love how many people respect and Icelandic literature, The eddas and the tales of the icelanders dating from like 850-1300 are increadible especially in icelandic ofcourse.
Ps. For more recent Icelandic literature I highly recommend Halldór Laxness if you haven't read his works. He is the icelandic dostoyevsky but at the same time like almost at his level of genious.
>>7490387

>>7490416
>Halldór Laxness
what should I read by him?
The Canterbury Tales
The Summa Theologica
Shakespeare
>>7489868

No one has mentioned 1001 nights nor any other Arabic works
>>7489868
>nothing of literary interest happened between 200 C.E and the 1600s except for dante

>The Canterbury Tales

>The Summa Theologica

>>7490437
hmm i hadnt considered that, but i'm iffy about reading translated arabic.
>>7490446
well, we don't have anything from the americas because catholics killed them all and burned their stuff, and asia doesn't count. i hadn't considered arabic works im asking about that.
