我注意到这份书单是 Martin Seymour-Smith 列的。他是一位英国诗人和评论家，代表作是《Guide to Modern World Literature》。这书简直是个庞然巨物，涵盖了成百（上千？）位作家，称得上是一部令人叹为观止的杰作，让人简直无法相信这居然是由一个人独立完成的。我以前经常花好几个小时一头扎在……
I noticed that this list was made by Martin Seymour-Smith. He was an English poet and critic whose masterpiece was called Guide to Modern World Literature.

Thanks, I'll add "The Guide to Modern World Literature" to my reading list (and I guess it will transitively keep this list filled for the next decade or so)
