Ferragosto weekend dedicated to good literature, The Greatest Book has collected 107 book rankings dividing them by different typology: non-fiction, fiction and not only many surprises that re-evaluates the literature of timeless philosophers and classics or which books for an ideal library.
A wide choice that recomposes the true meaning of returning to appreciate literature, even in the e-book version, and of discovering that literature "faithfully" narrates and interprets the history of man and of the world.
Among the top 100 in literature, a result obtained from interviews conducted on a panel of 100 authors from 54 countries on what they considered the "best works of world literature". Among the authors interviewed were Milan Kundera, Doris Lessing, Seamus Heaney, Salman Rushdie, Wole Soyinka, John Irving, Nadine Gordimer, and Carlos Fuentes. The list of 100 works appear in alphabetical order by author. Even though the books weren't rated, the publishers revealed that Don Quixote received 50% more votes than any other book.
Among the many classics we find for example:
