We love books because they can transport us from our own little corner of the world and allow us to visit far off places we may never get to see in real life. We’ve been on road trips across the United States with Jack Kerouac, visited England in the 1800’s with Charles Dickens, and mixed with Russian nobles in War and Peace.
Good literature can allow us to taste the flavour of a country without leaving the house and can broaden our horizons almost as much as travelling. The site Global English Editing has put together a fantastic map of the world that shows each country being represented by its most famous book. Some countries have a number of highly respected authors, do you agree with each countries’ selection?
