War and Peace is written in Russian. The Quijote is written in Spanish. La Divina Commedia is written in Italian. And don't forget Zola, Molière, Petrarca, Dostoievski, Plato, Goethe, Aristoteles... Any of them wrote in English. And all of them are classics in the Western canon.

So in the Western canon there are a lot of books which aren't written in English. They are well recognized, as everyone who likes to read them knows. If you don't know it it's because you don't care about classics at all. They don't need you to speak for them.

And seeing your point 3, I think you don't even know what "a literature classic" means.
