The Guardian's 1000 Novels Everyone Must Read

Familiar names such as Hesse and Endo were there but also people like Machado de Assis (for Don Casmurro, unfortunately currently not in print) and Dacia Mariani (for Silent Duchess, ditto) but here are some unforgettable titles by Hermann Hesse, Shusaku Endo, Cesare Pavese and Cora Sandel which were all justly celebrated in the Guardian's definitive list – and they're all currently available: Narcissus and Goldmund, Silence,The Moon and The Bonfire and Alberta and Jacob
