Recently, there has been a real boom in the book industry. According to sociologists, people have begun to read a lot more, and preference is given to paper books, rather than their electronic versions.
The modern market is awash with literature, good and varied. The demand stimulates writers - the number of modern authors writing novels, detective stories and fiction has increased significantly. Many are dizzy with J. Rowling's success, while others simply pour out their souls on the pages of their works.
Fantasy
Fantasy is a relatively young genre of modern literature that migrated from the world of fiction. Bestsellers such as Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings have probably been read by millions of people on the planet.
Bestsellers are the best-selling books, translated into hundreds of languages around the world.
Continuing this chain, it is worth noting that the greatest interest is now a series of novels "Twilight" by American writer Stephenie Meyer. The saga, as the author calls it, describes the love story of an American schoolgirl and a vampire. Throughout the entire saga, the heroes overcome many obstacles on their way, proving that love can conquer everything.
The Russian analogue is the book "The Dark World" by writers from St. Petersburg, Irina Andronati and Andrey Lazarchuk. According to the book, a group of university students goes along with a teacher on a folklore expedition to the forest. There, amazing adventures take place with the main characters of the novel, which do not allow them to relax until the end of the book.
Literary horrors
Fans of horror will love the works of Stephen King. All his stories capture from the first letter. Those who are fans of his work should read Hearts in Atlantis to discover the new King. This novel tells about our life simply, at times cruelly, but shows all its inside out as it is and as it appears to the author.
Detectives
Fans of the detective will not miss new works by Daria Dontsova and Tatiana Ustinova. Among foreign authors of detective stories, Dan Brown never gets tired of surprising with his sensational novel "Inferno". In the work, the author again tells us about the unusual adventures, investigations, pursuits and pursuits of his hero Robert Langdon.
Classic
The classics are back in fashion. Modern publishing houses have given a second life to classic works by reprinting them under a new cover. Book lovers should note for themselves the work "The Great Gatsby" by F. S. Fitzgerald, the story today in the top five best-selling books.
One of the most controversial and mysterious works that does not lose its relevance is still the play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett.
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Blok are authors who, in principle, do not leave the rating of popular writers. Sociologists assure that the surge of interest in their works grows with the growth of tension and the emergence of instability in the family, at work, with a change in their own worldview. People are looking for answers to eternal questions that are raised in the pages of timeless books.
