Recommend me your favourite European books. I'd appreciate it if they are translated in English or Romanian so I could actually read them 😭. I personally loved catch the rabbit by Lana Bastasic, the Neapolitan tetralogy by Ferrante, Steppenwolf by Hesse, night in Lisbon by Remarque - these are just a few. But yeah please give me your recommendations.

What exactly are you looking for? Books by European authors but nor necessarily about Europe (like Stanislav Lem), books by European authors and taking place in Europe (Like Thomas Mann etc) or books about Europe but not necessarily written by European authors (like the Da Vinci Code)?

You can try Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. I enjoyed it a lot. There's also a movie which is excellent, but the book is better.
