Literature is a major topical area of mine. Here I will post examples from my world literature collection.
I will post the literature of a different country in each post, without repeating, and see how many countries I get. I will keep tabs in this 1st post, as I go along, so I don't inadvertently repeat myself.
China
Lithuania
Ukraine

Nikolai Gogol, author of Taras Bulba, which was adapted into a major motion picture starring Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis. I like this sheet, even though I normally shun CTO's. On this sheet, I like the way the pictorial cancel complements the subject. Ukraine, Scott Nr 725 (2008)  |

Simonas Stanevicius (1799-1848), of Lithuania, is best remembered for his Six Fables. Two of them borrowed plots from Aesop's Fables. The stamp depicts one of his originals, "Arklys ir Meška," (The Horse and the Bear). Lithuania, Scott Nr 647 (1999)   |

A pane of 12 stamps depicting scenes from Don Quixote ( Escenas del Quijote). There is a second sheet for the issue which I have not yet obtained. Those 2 sheets, in turn, are part of a larger series of stamps, in the same cartoon art style and mostly the same sheet format, issued from 1998 to 2004 under the title Correspondencia Epistolar Escolar, or School Letter Writing, the practice of writing letters as a classroom activity. Spain, Scott Nr 2952 (1998)    |

Glad I didn't mail anything back to myself while I was in Canada! Then again, I paid C$37 to park for one hour at one of the national parks in Canada. 
I will never complain again about the US$15 I had to pay to park in St. Augustine, FL.
