When we talk about “famous books” we mean those volumes that have been read by a vast number of people, having an impact on popular culture and collective memory
This fact alone does not make the works on this list intrinsically of good quality, but simply makes them products whose marketing has been very effective.
Nevertheless, it may happen that a famous book is, at the same time, a work of art. In this sense, we will look at this list from an objective point of view, highlighting the sales numbers, but also the impression that the public has had on each of the titles that we are going to present. Below are the most famous books in history.
