If people are buying a book, it must be good, right? Or when it comes to modern ones, they could just have a good marketing campaign, in which case we should reward those who came up with it anyway. Let's have a look on top ten books that made a killing and sort them based on the number of sold copies: 人们买书,总是买好的书,对吧?也许会买些仅仅是营销做得好的书,那就当是给想出这主意的人的酬谢吧。下面列出了10本最成功的书,以销量排序。 1. The Lord of the Rings, Author: J. R. R. Tolkien 《指环王》,作者:约翰.罗纳尔多.鲁埃尔. 托尔金 # of sold copies: 150 million 售出:1.5亿本 First edition: 1954 第一版: 1954 Although this series has become even more famous after being filmed, it's fair to say that the tale of Middle Earth is an ingenious work of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. It reaches deep inside of us and plays on our imagination, wishes and inspiration. 尽管魔戒系列在拍成电影后更加有名了,不得不说这个中土传说是托尔金的天才之作。它触及了我们的内心深处,激发了我们的想象,愿望和灵感。 The story of one little hobbit named Frodo Baggins succeeding where immortal elves or noble kings have failed gives us a very truthful message that literally nothing is impossible. Tolkien did a wonderful job in creating a living world and it will take a long time before his legacy is forgotten - if it will ever come to that. |
