Li Kuo's new book is online, this time, from a large publishing house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the incident of "The Lord of the Rings", these publishing houses, even if they are still not very optimistic about the prospects of Li Kuo's novels, have launched a fierce competition for this goal.

The next Li Kuo novel, for them, is unpredictable.

Because this novel is not the same genre as the previous "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Lord of the Rings".

After all, the previous two books, although they were not favored at the beginning, were also two novels, and it can be seen that these two novels should still be relatively secular, that is to say, as long as you read them patiently, they are still two particularly wonderful books.

But this new book is different......

Li Kuo's new book, after the appraisal of several people, the first reaction after reading it is an absolute classic.

However, this is too obscure, and many truths are hidden in it, which makes people feel that this book is not good at first, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that this should be able to enter the ranks of classics.

This book is called "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" is the masterpiece of Colombian writer García Márquez, and it is also a representative work of Latin American magical realist literature......

The book chronicles the saga of seven generations of the Buendía family and the century-old rise and fall of the Caribbean coastal town of Macondo, reflecting a century of Latin America's changing history.

Moreover, the book incorporates myths and legends, folk tales, religious allusions and other mysterious elements, skillfully blending reality and fantasy, showing a magnificent imaginary world, and has become one of the most important classic literary masterpieces of the 20th century......

Of course, this is a more official explanation.

And this book is indeed very significant, it won the Nobel Prize for Literature in '82, and has since been called one of the top ten masterpieces in the Western world......

You can imagine the impact of this book.

Being able to write such an influential novel in the 21st century elevates the status of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

Before the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude, Márquez was not widely known outside the Latin American literary scene. One Hundred Years of Solitude shocked the Latin American literary scene and the world as a whole, and was soon translated into many languages. Márquez also became a world-class writer who became famous.

Therefore, the significance of the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" can also be seen.

But because of this, this book is actually quite obscure, especially the intricate relationships between various characters, as well as the various duplicate names that often appear, which make people feel dewy and increase the cost of reading, which makes people feel that this book is just like that.

In fact, many people will give up reading this book for some reasons, which is also the biggest disadvantage of this book, but this kind of classic literature, many of them are like that.

Li Kuo's choice of this book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was also deliberate, first of all, mainly because this book is so classic and widely circulated in the Western world.

Secondly, although the history of this time and space has taken a fork in the road in many places, there is still the United States here, and there are many wars related to the United States, as well as the colonization of Latin America by other Western powers, and the rebellion of Latin America itself......

So there is nothing wrong with "One Hundred Years of Solitude" actually being used in the Latin American civil strife of this time and space.

Again, and most importantly, in this time and space, Li Kuo's previous "Metamorphosis" is considered by many people to be a literary innovation, and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is actually a continuation and extension of "The Metamorphosis......

As a result, Li Kuo has more expectations for "One Hundred Years of Solitude". I did make my own efforts......

When "One Hundred Years of Solitude" hit the shelves in North America, on the Chinese side, there was another American novel on the street, and the sales of this book in China finally did not rise, but this is also a novel that is relatively for the entertainment of the public.

In this way, this year's Sino-US cultural exchanges, as long as there are no surprises, is actually China going to win......

This is unexpected, especially elsewhere, when China has been defeated on all fronts, and China has been a rout in the field of fiction in previous years.

However, now there are also a lot of people who are paying attention to Li Kuo's "One Hundred Years of Solitude", paying attention to the sales of this book, and paying attention to the evaluation of this book.

This is especially true for Chinese readers, who have been looking forward to Li Kuo's book before, especially after the current Columbia University incident, their expectations for Li Kuo's book have been raised infinitely, to a level that cannot be missed.

However, for many people, although they are looking forward to Li Kuo's "One Hundred Years of Solitude", they are still worried about the real sales of the book and the word-of-mouth after it.

After all, they also know that Li Kuo's efficiency in the past two years seems to be too high, and within two years, he wrote "The Fall of the Giant" and wrote two super novels such as "The Lord of the Rings", and the word count of these two novels is also very high, so at this time, the third novel he came out will definitely affect the quality, which is also everyone's habitual thinking.

In the United States, there are fewer such doubts, after all, they haven't paid much attention to Li Kuo's history before, and they don't know how many books Li Kuo has written before, so they also think that these three books may be Li Kuo's life savings, and they are not as worried about the quality of Li Kuo's novels as they are in China.

It was at this time that "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was officially launched.

Now is still the time when Li Kuo's influence is relatively high, coupled with the events of Columbia University and New York University in the past few days, everyone is full of expectations for Li Kuo's new book, which is also similar to the fan economy, anyway, if the hype is hot, you can make a lot of money......

It's a similar feeling now.

So, although "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is still a relatively obscure novel overall, it still sold quite well at the beginning, and by the end of the day, it sold 56,300 copies!

This sales volume is still impressive! And the sales volume exceeded 50,000 copies on the first day, creating Li Kuo's best results in the United States, and this sales volume also makes people feel quite good, many people have to sigh that Li Kuo is really mixed up in the United States...... This is something that basically no Chinese writer has done before.
