I figured it out( I think),Andrew Hurley has translated all his stories in this particular volume,but others like Norman Thomas di Giovanni has translated a couple of his stories.

I would second Milan Kundera.

I second Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges.

You may consider The English Patient seconded.

 

[Fantasy Moon]

I second The Odyssey. I read an abridged form in high school, but I have the complete text now and I wouldn't mind visiting Homer's epic again.
