Not the GP, but I think that there are many such titles, that's why schools in Poland have mandatory reading lists :)
You cannot understand culture and tradition without reading some classics,starting with Bible, Homer's Illiad, or Shakespeare. And of course in Poland we mostly focus on Polish writers. You know, before journalism was invented novels served pretty much the same purpose as newspaper reports - there are the goldmine of information about how Poland looked like back in the day.
Unfortunately, contemporary students prefer to just watch movie based on a book than reading the source material.
