For me the best Russian book ever written is Мастер и Маргарита (The Master and Margarita) by Михаил Булгаков (Mikhail Bulgakov).
BTW there is a very good English translation of it by Diana Bürgin & Katherine O’Connor.

I've read it in translation and it's wonderful!

For greek, Homer of course.

Thucidides, because after you read that it's like you have aquired a university degree on politics and human nature. And the language is like poetry.

Anything by Seferis, poetry and prose.

Kavafis.

Kazantzakis.
