Sorry if I don't abide by the format but:

From Spain: Federico García Lorca, Miguel Hernández, Marcos Ana. All three are amazing poets. All of them have the spanish civil war as an over arching theme in their works.
Julio Cortázar, wrote tales, nouvelles and novels. He was born in Switzerland, migrated to Argentina then spent his last years in France. His most acclaimed novel, Hopscotch, is a labyrinth of short stories that connect to create a greater narrative. Truly a work of art.
Hugo Pratt. A graphic novel writer, author of Corto Maltese, probably my favourite graphic novel of all times. It's a classic. He was born in... Crete I think? Began publishing in Italy, then migrated to Argentina where he made most of his carreer.
Neil Gaiman. Author of The Sandman, an all-time favourite of mine, Books Of Magic, famously the work which "inspired" J K Rowling... He is british, although he migrated to America. Sadly he has recently been known for his abusive practices towards his female employees.
Herman Hesse. Pretty sure he was german, awarded a novel prize. He was the go to author during my teenage years. His books are aimed to a young adult audience and are filled with existential and philosophical debates. My favourite book, The Glass Bead Game, was a turning point in my life.
