Nathan the Wise is a duplicate

... and not sure whether C. Funke really belongs in this list.

Suggestion:

Replace them by sth. from Eichendorff, Fallada, Herder, Keller, Kästner, Keun, Lasker-Schüler, Droste-Hülshoff, Mörike, Storm or Tucholsky

... and replace Canetti by Schnitzler, Dürrenmatt or Frisch
