The editors of the Norwegian Book Clubs, with the Norwegian Nobel
Institute, polled a panel of 100 authors from 54 countries on what
they considered the "best and most central works in world literature."
Among the authors polled were Milan Kundera, Doris Lessing, Seamus
Heaney, Salman Rushdie, Wole Soyinka, John Irving, Nadine Gordimer,
and Carlos Fuentes. The list of 100 works appears alphabetically by
author. Although the books were not ranked, the editors revealed that
Don Quixote received 50% more votes than any other book.
