Some first-tier authors: Goethe, Schiller, Grimm brothers, Kafka, Brecht, Hesse, Mann, Frisch, Dürrenmatt, Grass.

But there is only one God-tier author: Shakespeare

You might have read a great translation. Translation of literature (capturing all the different layers of tone etc etc, while producing something that reads well) must be incredibly hard. Most translations suck.
