There are several books that are among the best sellers in history. From classic children’s books to epic novels, there are many that you will enjoy reading. These classics have been known for influencing world literature and even religions. The following are a few of the world’s best-selling books.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter is one of the most popular books of all time, and has sold over 500 million copies worldwide. It is a fantasy novel series that follows a young orphan boy named Harry Potter, who discovers that he is a wizard on his eleventh birthday. He is then whisked away to the mysterious Hogwarts school for wizards and witches, where he meets new friends and learns the truth behind his parents’ deaths. Since then, this series has become a worldwide phenomenon, and the books have been translated into dozens of languages.
The first book in the Harry Potter series sold more than 50 million copies in the first 24 hours alone, and the second book in the series was published just a day later. This made Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the fastest-selling book of all time. Its sequel, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” sold more than six million copies in its first day alone.
The Bible
It’s no surprise that The Bible has become one of the world’s best-selling books. In the United States alone, more than five hundred English Bible translations are available. A typical Christian bookstore carries 15 or more of them, with the top six accounting for more than 95% of all sales. Although the King James Version has been the standard for nearly three centuries, new archeological discoveries have given it an unlikely rival.
Other religious texts have become popular and widely distributed, with the Quran and Book of Mormon selling hundreds of millions of copies. Several hundred million copies of Chairman Mao Zedong’s quotes are also in print. The Bible is one of the best-selling books of all time, but it isn’t always on bestseller lists. In fact, it’s often cited as the most widely-read book of all time, despite being produced by a single author.
Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tsung
Quotations from Chairman Mao T-Sung, also known as the Little Red Book, has been published a record 1.1 billion times. It is a collection of four-hundred quotations by Mao Zedong, who led the Communist revolution in China from 1949 to 1976. The Little Red Book is considered to be one of the best-selling books in history. Besides being one of the most well-known books in history, it has a great deal of value for anyone interested in the life of the great Chinese leader.
The book first became popular in China, where it was distributed to the military and later to the general public. Later, it was translated into many languages and sold to millions of people outside of China.
The Bridges of Madison County
“The Bridges of Madison County” is one of the best-selling novels of all time. Its sales were attributed to word-of-mouth marketing and sales at independent book stores. It rose to the top spot on the New York Times bestseller list for the first time in January 1993. It was a sensation, so much so that Oprah Winfrey called it one of the best books of the year and called it a gift to the nation.
The book was written by Robert James Waller, a Midwest native. He grew up in Rockford, Iowa, and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 1962. After completing his education, he began a career as an economist, and eventually rose to the rank of dean of the University of Northern Iowa’s College of Business.
