Which country has the best literature?

I would say it's Germany, but I'm not objective Goethe, Kafka, Nietzsche, Wilhelm & Jacob Grimm, Brecht, Wolfgang Bittner, Thomas Mann etc. <3 Oh well, I've read many Bulgakov's books and I love them, but russian literature is in most cases just weird. But to be fair authors like Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky or Chekhov always will be the greatest - no matter what

I think the answer is almost certainly Russia. My main reason for this is simply the book "the Master & Margarita", I am yet to find a book written in English, or any language that can compare to it. It must be one of the finest pieces of literature ever written, also, in terms of modern Russian literature, many write in a similar style to Mikhail Bulgakov, and for cultural and historical reasons it seems to be a style that many non-Russian authors struggle to emulate.

Also, Russian literature has ultimately influnced a lot of British literature. For example, George Owell's 1984 was heavily influenced by Yengeny Zamyatin's "We".

Which country would you say has the best literature?

Of course, no one mentions anything outside europe.

Do you see how shortsighted that is?

Countries don't produce literature, people do, no matter where they did it.

You've forgotten French Literature... With authors like La Fontaine, Balzac, Hugo, Baudelaire, Flaubert, Celine, etc....

It isn't short-sighted. Even ignoring the fact that people who grew up in Europe are perhaps more likely to prefer European literature, as bizarre as that may sound, you can notice that for a long period of time in history the majority of the world's total output in literature came, for various reasons, from Europe.

Kafka was German?

I'm totally uneducated. I thought he was Czech. FML.
