For exactly one hundred years, the Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to the best fiction books by American writers. Lifehacker publishes a list of works published in Russian that are worth adding to your reading list.
The Pulitzer Prize is a prestigious award for journalists, writers, playwrights, photographers and composers.
One of the nominations is for "Best Fiction by an American Writer, Published as a Book, and Preferably Concerning the Issues of American Life."
However, most of the award-winning writers are known not only in the United States. Their works are published all over the world and are considered classics. For example, "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemingway, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, "Grapes of Wrath" by Steinbeck.
