We tell you what are the 50 best books you should read before you die; Now, we offer you another list, the one of the best selling books in the world according to Wikipedia.
The collective encyclopedia claims to have relied on reliable and independent sources to include all the copies published so far in all languages, although be careful, because the list does not include comics, textbooks, books of philosophical or religious content (for that does not appear in the Bible, which, with its 5,000 million copies, would take first place), or ideological or political volumes – in which case, Mao Zedong’s Red Book would be included, which is also supposed to be very sold, although there is no official data-.
Also, there are not many public domain contents on this list, such as The Count of Montecristo, due to the difficulty of compiling the figures of the multiple editions that have been carried out by different publishers.
And that’s it, the details are over: now that you know them, it’s time to immerse yourself in this collection of the best-sellers that includes a lot of children’s books, a lot of film adaptation and a good share of self-help. And, of course, you have to ask yourself the essential question: How many of the most selling books have you read? Check it!
