It's a tie between "Les Miserables", "War and Peace", and "Paradise Lost". I guess you could probably include "The Crucible" as a close contender too, although that's a play, not a novel. Maybe "The Divine Comedy" in there too?

Now, if some person held the view that nothing worthwhile has been produced in the field of philosophy since the Greeks - how would you persuade him to the contrary?
