Books play an incredibly important role in our lives. It was with "recorded thoughts" that the transformation of primitive man into rational man began.
A thousand years ago, each manuscript was a unique jewel, hand-written and stored on a par with gold and silver. Today, most of the books in the world are entertaining in nature. But that does not make them useless or harmful. Remember the books about adventures of travelers and heroes read in childhood - how much they inspired and inspired! Millions of children and adolescents have found a life path under the influence of such works.
For whom is adventure literature written?
Of course, it is written for everyone and everyone - a man and a woman, a builder and a housewife will be happy to read the story of a trip around the world or African pioneers. But the main "target group" for which the best adventure books are written are children and adolescents.
Why? Children are full of unbridled energy, they are maximalists and idealists. Their imagination is endless, and the thirst for heroic achievements calls for exploits. Have you ever seen a boy walking with blurred eyes to or from school? He does not see passing cars, signboards and shops. At this very moment, he is piloting a space fighter, floating on a huge raft on the Amazon River, breaking through a snowstorm in Alaska. The best adventure books are replaced before his inner gaze, sending him to the country of Fantasy.
It is vital for young boys and girls to empathize with the heroes who pass the most difficult trials, because through them they, albeit in an entertaining way, learn ethics and rules of behavior, prepare to make important decisions. And if you see such a dreamy tomboy waving a twig as if it were a Spanish sword, you should know that he has on his shelf the best adventure books read to the holes.
Books of which authors this should be read to both adults and children
- Jules Verne. An amazing master who wrote such masterpieces as “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” “Children of Captain Grant,” “Fifteen Years Captain,” and many others. This native of Nantes wrote such powerful, "visionary" novels that they still, after almost two hundred years, are read all over the world.
- Mark Twain. His amazing and unique novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is a hymn to the "boyish spirit", restless and mischievous. This is a funny, funny and very deep thing that will find a funny kid even in the most serious and important man. If you want to collect the best adventure books at home, then this novel should be among them.

I would also like to say about a landmark event in the world of literature - the release of the Harry Potter series of books. This saga about a boy who is studying at a magic school has become not just a bestseller - in just a decade, she came out on the third place in the world in the number of copies issued! The best adventure books of all time for many years were headed by the Boy-Who-Lived.
