A bizarre list obviously based on nothing remotely tangible, but fun anyway.

An odd list to be sure. Missing: Homer, Plato, Henry James, Ibsen, Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, H. G. Wells, Flaubert, Nabokov, Melville, Edith Wharton, Voltaire, Swift, Hawthorne, etc. Shakespeare number 5? Universally regarded as the greatest author in the English language, or any language for that matter.

Every list it will be questionable, furthermore, it is impossible to compare theater, prose and poetry The only thing I can say is that in my country we consider Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe as the unreachable top of the top. Miguel de Cervantes, Moliere, Manzoni, Tolstoy and Dostoevskij slightly below. The rest is for really to questionable.

@@bimbum819 Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are for sure ahead of him. Dante and Hugo are debatable. Only Middle/High school students would think Shakespeare is the best author of all time, there are probably 5-10 better than him. In terms of the most influential and famous authors tho, he is for sure #1.

@@AgnusDei695Tolstoys prose has literally been described as a “river of life”, Nabokov citing it as “to the same swing as people walking outside” and even noble winners like Hemmingway and Camus point to war and peace as the greatest story ever. Shakespseare can’t compare

Ivo Andrić? Poet and short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961.

I’ve read Aesop, Shakespeare, Stendhal, Melville, Twain, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, Huxley, Tolkien, Orwell, Borges and Camus.

Milton is missing from this list.

I don't think you should compare novelists, poets and playwrights. Also, I think ancient and modern writers are hard to compare. I think a better list would be 100 modern fiction writers.

Got to take out some of the American and British writers out then the list will be correct

Interesting, the only thing I dont like is that you used wrong flag for Hermann Hesse (He was Swiss-German) and looking at Franz Kafka it would be more appropiate to use the Austrian and the Czech flag next to each other, since he lived almost all of his life in Austria-Hungary, and wrote in german eventough he was from Prague. A Person definitly missing here is Schiller, a german Philosopher and author who lived at the same time as Goethe.

Crazy how JK Rowling didn't even make the list when she's got the best selling book franchise of all time.

You mentioned "MARIO VARGAS LLOSA" two times. At number 94 and 79. Correct it.

This is taken from imdb's list

DOSTO THE GOAT

I switched off at salman rushdie... lol

Not a single Dutch writer?! And what about Chzech Hrabal?

You've mentioned liosa twice

Now if we want to be technical, just put all of the authors of the books of the Bible

You forgot to add MAX STRAVAGAR he's the William Shakespeare of our times!

Lololo sorry I couldn't resist

And the winner is... Mario Vargas Llosa! 🏆

Stephen king and Gorge R R Martin is missing

Petar II Petrovic Njegos? Ivo Andric?

George Bernard Shaw is in 64th rank. 🙂

This is a really bad and bizarre list. No Chinese writers (Du Fu, Li Bai, Wang Wei, Cao Xueqin, Lu Xun?). No Murasaki Shikibu (Murakami? Seriously?).

This list is stupid. I mean… Who the hell put Exupery and Remark near each other? One is mostly famous because of one childish book(but I must admit very good one) and one of the most famous author of the lost decade? And yeah Hugo is greater than Shakespeare…. No comments.
