Chapter 51 Recommendations of the Organizing Committee
Shenxu also wants to take a large domestic intercontinental airliner, but China can't produce such a large domestic intercontinental airliner now, even if Shenxu has magical powers and Tianting Supermarket, but he still can't help anything, because Tianting Supermarket doesn't sell technology at all, Shenxu can only pray that the Chinese people should be self-reliant, and build our country's own large intercontinental passenger plane as soon as possible.
When Shen Xu and his group arrived in Edinburgh, England, it had just rained here, which just washed away the impetuousness and sultry heat of summer, as if the city had been added with cool colors overnight, making people feel that the city was much fresher.
Edinburgh is still beautiful, and you can see ancient buildings that are more than hundreds of years old everywhere on the streets, and these cultural monuments are the proud capital of Edinburgh, and of course, the city's business card.
To look at the degree of civilization of a city, we must not only look at the cultural heritage of the city, but also look at the quality and environment of the people here.
Edinburgh's greening is very good, the trees on both sides of the road are very beautiful, dark green leaves, buttery flowers, light red fruits, from a distance, row by row, piece by piece, close to layer, string, pleasing to the eye, people never get tired of looking.
The quality of people, Shen Xuan only had contact with the taxi driver at the airport, from the taxi driver's amiable attitude, self-confidence in talking, and not arrogant or humble expression, you can roughly know that the cultivation of people here is indeed very high.
In fact, the quality of our Chinese people is not bad, but they have been deliberately smeared by those foreign media, in fact, many times it is a misunderstanding caused by different cultures.
Because they had to adjust to the time difference, they went to the hotel they booked to rest as soon as they arrived in Edinburgh.
……
At this time, the Edinburgh Book Festival Organizing Committee's office is brightly lit, and more than a dozen of Britain's most famous and authoritative fiction judges gather here, all from the jury of major British literary awards.
Why almost all of the novels featured at the Edinburgh International Book Festival win awards in the UK. If the books selected by the judges themselves do not win the award, it is not a slap in the face.
Today, these members of the organizing committee will each recommend some books, which can only be regarded as a primary selection, and the books that have passed the primary selection will be listed separately to recommend to readers, and at the same time online voting will be conducted, which can only be regarded as a market test to see how much readers like the book.
The book that the reader likes will have a huge advantage in the final review, after all, the reader's liking does not represent the literary achievement of the book, the two are just closely related.
Davide was a judge for the Booker Prize for Literature, and he was a fan of fantasy novels through and through, and at that time, he was reading a novel called Harry Potter.
In Davide's opinion, the book is so well written, beautifully written, and the fascinating storyline makes people want to stop after reading it.
This novel with a strong taste of British classical literature was actually written by a Chinese, such a good book, it was actually written by a Chinese, and after Davide confirmed it, this book was indeed written by a Chinese named Yun Yue.
Of course, Davide also has British feelings, but he is not a narrow-minded person, this is the International Book Festival after all, and the more books with English literary pedigree, the greater the impact of British culture on the world, which is a good thing!
David, without hesitation, put "Harry Potter" at the top of his list of recommended books. The books recommended by the members of the Edinburgh Organizing Committee will generally not be unsuccessful, but there is a limit to the number of books, and each member of the Organizing Committee can recommend up to ten books.
Although each of these organizing committee members has ten book recommendations, those organizing committee members are very cautious when recommending.
Because if netizens don't like a book at all, isn't that a slap in the face? If they can't win an award, it will make people question their ability to appreciate literature.
David's unhesitating recommendation of "Harry Potter", he believes that this magical novel, which does not sell well in the UK, will definitely be recognized by more readers under his recommendation. It is the duty of a book reviewer to never let such a good book be obscured by the public.
The official website of the Edinburgh Book Festival soon announced the books recommended by the members of the organizing committee to the general readers, and Yunyue's "Harry Potter" was also among them.
This time, there are only 87 books of all kinds recommended by the organizing committee, 32 novels, and Yunyue's book ranks first in the novel recommendation list, and it seems that Yunyue's "Harry Potter" is recommended by at least three members of the organizing committee at the same time.
The Edinburgh International Picture Festival, which has been held for many years, naturally has a lot of fans around the world, and these fans have long been waiting for the official recommended books to be released.
For each recommended book, you can read the opening content of tens of thousands of words for free on the official website, so that these readers can comment on each recommended book more directly.
Readers from all over the world immediately look for all kinds of books they like to read after the recommendation list comes out, and those readers who like to read novels naturally focus on "Harry Potter", which ranks first on the recommendation list.
The opening content of tens of thousands of words will be read quickly, and readers will rate and vote for the book after reading it, and many readers will leave a message in the book review area to discuss this "Harry Potter".
"Can anyone tell me when Chinese will be able to write a classic novel like Harry Potter, impossible, Chinese can't write such a classic novel......"
"Don't look at literature with a discriminatory eye, let alone racism, it's blasphemy against literature. ”
"That is, ask for a management ban. ”
"Report this kid......"
Soon, the troll was banned, his comments were deleted by the admins, and the following real readers began to seriously discuss the book in the book review section:
Judging from the tens of thousands of words at the beginning, "Harry Potter" is really well written! The writing is quite delicate. ”
"This book is recommended by Mr. Davide, the originator of fantasy novels, how can the novel he recommended be bad, the magic book recommended by Mr. Davide at the previous International Book Festival, that one did not win several major British literary awards. ”
"Yes, the books recommended by Mr. Davide are always of high quality. ”
"The plot development of the book "Harry Potter" is so fascinating, after reading the first tens of thousands of words, I want to read it more and more, and I will buy this book tomorrow. ”
"Did you find that this book has a strong flavor of English classical literature. ”
"I have long seen it, I can't imagine that a Chinese can actually write such a classic British classical novel, this Chinese is not simple!"
"If you look at the author's profile, this Chinese is only nineteen years old and graduated from high school, which is simply incredible! I am not racist, I am just talking about things. ”
"No matter how old this kid is or what nationality he is, as long as his novel is well written, we will support it, otherwise we will abandon the book. ”
"Yes, yes, as long as the book is good, such a good book must be given full marks!"
"I give it full marks as well. ”
