If you want foreign classics, read Italo Calvino! He's an Italian author, I would recommend If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, The Baron in the Trees, and Invisible Cities :)
His books are very clever and conceptual- they kind of feel like watching a wes anderson movie lmao. Like "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler" is just playing with the concept of reading, the reader, the author, the translator, etc. It makes you think about reading in a different way while also being really fun and surreal. All the characters are representations of types of readers while at the same time feeling quite real even though they're all completely absurd. When I finished it I felt kind of like I was in shock, it was magical.
If you like poetry and history, you'll like Invisible Cities.
