Ao Guanhai is almost already known to everyone, but he is not so familiar with the Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han who attracted the family to read books, so everyone is curious about the works of conquering the president of the United States.

Not surprisingly, Lin Han began to be consumed by jokers, and he is the most popular one tonight, not to mention anything else, the number of Weibo fans has skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands, and it is now close to five million fans.

In such a hot situation, Penguin Publishing Group sensed a business opportunity, and they decided to advance the launch time of the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" to keep up with this wave of hot spots!

All over the world, so the multimedia is helping to promote it, and if you don't hurry up, you will definitely regret it.

The novel, which was originally scheduled to be released on November 11, was quietly listed on Amazon in the early morning of the 9th, and the pre-sale that was originally displayed has become a hot sale, and the publisher put out the slogan "China's best-selling science fiction novel, the English version is on the market for the first time", attracting the attention of science fiction fans around the world.

"The Three-Body Problem" is the name of the English version, this novel has attracted the eyes of European and American readers since its birth, before there has been only the Chinese version without the English version, some of the more anxious readers simply use translation software to forcibly translate Chinese to English, although the sentence is a little uncomfortable, but still stubbornly gnawed through.

What the strong men saw was a bit confusing, and the highlights weren't fully translated, and Rao was shocking enough that many of them said it was an extremely good novel.

Of course, there are also enthusiastic readers of the Hallym Academy who volunteer for free on the Internet to explain the content of "The Three-Body Problem" to European and American readers, and more than 3,000 people have listened to these explanations online.

Lin Han's charm can be imagined, and the attraction of "The Three-Body Problem" is extraordinary.

Like a writer's novel to such an extent, many jokers on the Internet admire these strong men who can read machine translation novels, calling them Shennong's who taste herbs abroad.

Now that the English version is finally on sale, these people can finally read it happily, throw the translator aside, and there is an authentic English original, and the original reading is scum.

The Three-Body Problem, which sparked a science fiction boom in China, has officially landed in major overseas markets, with a print run of 1.5 million copies in the first step, priced at $19.25 for the hardcover and $9.98 for the Kindle electronic version, which is not cheap at all.

The most important thing is that there are no corresponding promotional activities on online book buying websites such as Amazon and offline bookstores, and Lin Han, the original author, has never appeared to run the promotion and signing.

But readers and book critics were very satisfied, and the novel whetted their appetites, and they were busy buying them one by one.

Since it was a sudden sale, many people have not reacted to it, and even now almost all of the people who can write book reviews are insiders from publishing houses and bookstores.

These people are almost professionals, and they almost unanimously give "The Three-Body Problem" a five-star perfect score.

A staff member at a bookstore in Miami wrote: "My physics just came from decades ago in school, plus modern things I learned from television and science books." This bit of knowledge is not so much a measure of the scientific veracity of the book as it is a sign of my ignorance. But since this is a science fiction novel, I don't need expertise to enjoy the book. ”

"I've heard of Lin's book for a long time, but I don't know a foreign language, so I can only cruelly refuse all novels except English. I appreciate the quality of the translation of "The Three-Body Problem", the English of this book reads incredibly well, and it flows as smoothly as if reading the original Chinese in my imagination. The translator has inserted a lot of useful footnotes into the book, so that readers can understand the history, people, places, and events involved in the book. ”

"As the book introves, we are not alone in the universe. Of course, we may have accepted this concept for a long time, but in this work, we have a definite object - the Trisolaran. The synopsis doesn't give a lot of information, such as how to determine the innocence of the aliens or what will happen next, the author spent an incredible amount of time framing the details of the plot, and even after reading the whole book, I still didn't find any signs of the aliens. ”

"If you don't have much interest in science, this book might not be for you. If you're a fan of science fiction with a scientific twist, you'll definitely enjoy reading this book. Moreover, appreciating this book does not require a detailed understanding of science, and it took much less time to read the book than I expected. I love "The Three-Body Problem" and will definitely buy the next two books. ”

"When I finished reading nearly 400 pages of The Three-Body Problem, I still wanted to read it. Fortunately, the online news says that the other two parts of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy will be published soon, but I don't know when the English translation will be waiting, please hurry up, okay?"

"I highly recommend this book, this is the first part of the trilogy, the other two have yet to be published. If you love good science fiction, you'll love this book, I promise!"

Lin Han's excellent science fiction novels are not news, in fact, his previous novels are still on sale, but "The Three-Body Problem" seems to be different from the rest of the previous books, perhaps because of the long waiting for the anticipation.

There is no doubt that "The Three-Body Problem" has become a symbol of the export of China's cultural soft power, and this conservative and acclaimed novel at home has not been unaccustomed overseas, but has conquered one arrogant reader after another.

The New Yorker's online edition published a recommendation by Joshua Rothman, the magazine's editor and contributor, about Lynnham and his new book, the first book review given by a major media outlet, and many people were waiting.

Joshua Rothman has always been known for his poisonous tongue, he is never afraid to tell the truth, and some popular writers have been criticized by him, but he has to admit that he has a point.

Over time, he became well-known in the book review world, so when his article was published, it immediately sparked a huge discussion.

In the article, he gave Lin Han a very high evaluation, and for the first time called Lin Han "China's Verne"!

Who was Jules Verne?

He is the father of science fiction, author of many science fiction classics, and his novels have been translated more than Shakespeare, with nearly 5,000 translations alone. The French government also designated 2005 as the year of Verne to commemorate the centenary of the death of the science fiction master.

Among other things, his novels have been widely disseminated in China and have become the favorite extracurricular popular science books for teenagers. To be evaluated by a critical person as China's Verne is of great significance not only to Lin Han, but also to the entire Chinese science fiction community! )
