The ones I found impressive were:
Selma Lagerlof (The Outlaws)
Henrik Pontoppidan (A Fisher Nest) [especially for its depiction of barbaric customs belonging to antiquity, in its opening pages]
W B Yeats (The Crucifixion of the Outcast)
Wladyslaw Reymont (Death) [the squabbling amongst relatives for the even meagre material possessions of those at final rest makes for grimacing reading]
G B Shaw (The Miraculous Revenge)
Grazia Deledda (The Sardinian Fox)
Sinclair Lewis (What That Kind Of Mush Gets You)
Johannes V Jensen (Lost Forests)
Herman Hesse (Within And Without)
Par Lagerkvist (The Lift That Went Down Into Hell)
Haldor Laxness (Lily) [Nebuchadnezzar]
Albert Camus (The Guest)
Boris Pasternak (Ill Tratto de Apelle)
