Master and Margarita - M. Bulgakov is a masterpiece. Def is not underrated in the Russian speaking part of the world. But I'm not sure how well known it is beyond that

I already recommended it earlier but “How to Live on 24 Hours a Day”. Seriously everyone should read it.

One highly underrated book I'd recommend is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Published posthumously in 1967, it was written decades earlier but suppressed by the Soviet government. This novel is a fascinating mix of fantasy, political satire, and romance, with a narrative that shifts between 1930s Moscow and ancient Jerusalem. Despite its brilliance and depth, it remains less widely known in comparison to other classics. It's a book that deserves much more recognition for its creativity, humor, and philosophical insights.

Ok good question, here is one I think is amazing and nobody knows of it. Anarchy! An compilation of articles from Emma Goldman's Mother Earth magazine from the early 1900s. Some of these articles would be bangers released today almost word for word, and some are interesting historical stories and perspectives. https://www.amazon.com/Anarchy-Anthology-Goldmans-Mother-Earth/dp/1619020211/
