Despite the rapid development of information technology, books in our time do not lose their relevance. There is a popular belief among librarians that modern youth is not interested in reading, but prefers computer games to him. However, it is worth noting, erroneous. Books exist to be read. As long as there are significant works and there are authors worth reading, there will be readers.
This article is devoted to the topic - the most popular books. This list, of course, will not be complete. Each of us has his own preferences. We suggest you familiarize yourself with it and, perhaps, recall your favorite works.
"The Master and Margarita"
Perhaps the most mysterious of the novels of Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov. The work is a great find and mystery of the twentieth century. The novel incorporated socio-political problems, reflects social contradictions.
This is a love story that shook the entire planet. The most popular books of the world, the list of which can be continued indefinitely, can hardly be compared with this work and Bulgakov's unsurpassed skill as a writer. The theme of betrayal and atonement, self-sacrifice and true feeling, which is not afraid of either distance or obstacle, appears here. The problem of creativity is also declared a bold chord: genuine art does not die, but remains to live in Eternity. The most popular fantasy books , the list of which is not limited to modern novels led by the famous Harry Potter, would be incomplete without Mikhail Afanasevich’s “last, sunset novel”.
"War and Peace"
From all youth, we all know the names of Natasha Rostova, Andrei Bolkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov. These are the favorite characters of Leo Tolstoy, which still evoke a feeling of warm sadness and incredible involvement in the events of every cultural person. Sensitive people empathize with the heroes in failures and share their joy with them. The characters are alive in the hearts of those who are not indifferent to literature, can feel its beauty and significance. Of course, the novel “War and Peace” can be attributed to the section “Most Popular Books”, the list of which is constantly updated.
What are the moral reinterpretations of Andrei Bolkonsky, the heartfelt feelings of Natasha Rostova and the spiritual search for Pierre Bezukhov! Each of the three main characters deserves a connoisseur and reader.
"Alchemist"
Paolo Coelho is a wonderful master of the modern philosophical novel. Who else but this Spanish writer can share with us with such generosity his unique understanding of the truth? His books are certainly not for everyone. They are addressed to the reader who is looking for himself. Together with the heroes, he embarks on dangerous and exciting adventures full of mysteries and great secrets. If you choose the most popular books, their list would not be complete without the “Alchemist”, his hero - the ever wandering sage in search of the highest truth and meaning of life.
"Uncle Fedor, dog and cat"
Which of us in childhood did not read the books of Eduard Uspensky? His characters are forever in memory: the cat Matroskin, the dog Sharik and the boy himself, Uncle Fedor. The latter is the main character of the story, however, the "tailed" friends are not inferior to him in the degree of fame.
At seven to ten years old we admire Uncle Fedor’s independence, the fact that he learned to read early, made friendship with a cat and understood his language. The most popular children's books, the list of which can be continued indefinitely, can hardly compare with the enchanting impression that the work of Eduard Uspensky makes.
"Manyunya"
This is an amazing trilogy of the Armenian author Narine Abgaryan. The story of Manyunya includes three separate children's books, which you won’t be able to read without laughter (or at least a smile). The writer herself claims that she addressed her works to children and adults, so that the latter do not forget how to laugh, do not forget how to believe in miracles, and, finally, were able to remember their childhood.
Sisters Abgaryan and Maria Shatz will not leave anyone indifferent, now and then they fall into different interesting situations. Girls are striking in their ingenuity and penchant for "destructive actions." The most popular modern books, a list of them perfectly complements the trilogy of Narine Abgaryan. The work captures from the very beginning and does not let go until the end. You can laugh so hard while reading that you pump up the press, and you don’t have to do special physical exercises for losing weight!
"The Seagull Jonathan Livingston"
A serious and partly philosophical novel by Richard Bach, devoted to the topic of moral choice and fidelity to a dream. This is a story about a small seagull, which from childhood felt different from the rest. Kindred only thought about getting food and feeding themselves, and Jonathan more than anything else wanted to learn to fly. In the society where he lived and grew up, it was considered indecent to think about flying, and such an occupation was reproved. Will young Jonathan be able to defend his own right to desire to be happy, or will the "herd" feeling prevail - not to stand out from the crowd? The book is addressed primarily to young people who are looking for themselves, who want to feel the support of others and know that they are not alone in this world.
Thus, the listed works represent the most popular books. This list, of course, can be supplemented many more times at the request and capabilities of each of us. Read books with pleasure, with unprecedented pleasure, pay attention to the important little things that make up the highlight of each specific work!
