Which are the most influential books of all time?
#BestBooksOfAllTime #BestBooks #BestBooksToRead
No Kafka? No Steinbeck? No Dickens? But you have Lord of the Flies?
Wuthering Heights should not even be there since it's terrible. I don't even know how it became a classic. I agree with many others. I would have add the Arabian Nights, Robinson Crusoe and Odyssey.
Useful descriptions about great books. Thanks 💗
Certainly Tolstoy' s two novels and
Just a single man, Fyodor Dostoevsky, is enough to defeat all the creative novelists of the world. If one has to decide on 10 great novels in all the languages of the world, one will have to choose at least 3 novels of Dostoevsky in those 10. Dostoevsky’s insight into human beings and their problems is greater than your so-called psychoanalysts, and there are moments where he reaches the heights of great mystics. His book BROTHERS KARAMAZOV is so great in its insights that no BIBLE or KORAN or GITA comes close.
In another masterpiece of Dostoevsky, THE IDIOT, the main character is called ‘idiot’ by the people because they can’t understand his simplicity, his humbleness, his purity, his trust, his love. You can cheat him, you can deceive him, and he will still trust you. He is really one of the most beautiful characters ever created by any novelist. The idiot is a sage. The novel could just as well have been called THE SAGE. Dostoevsky’s idiot is not an idiot; he is one of the sanest men amongst an insane humanity. If you can become the idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky, it is perfectly beautiful. It is better than being cunning priest or politician. Humbleness has such a blessing. Simplicity has such benediction."
Don Quixote, Great Expectations, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
I have read only nine of them, but that is because I prefer history to fiction. Personal preference.
Great list! I would have included East of Eden, but your list us wonderful.
I’ve read 95% of these books and agree!! Great video. Thanks.
Jodi at Enlightenya I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
dante's inferno, solzenitsyn's gulag archepelago, dickens,dickens,dickens, tebecca by daphne demourie, shakespeare,
exactly and Faulkner
Great list. Have read 16 of them; plan to read a few more; purposely skipped some for lack of interest. Could easily add many more great books to this list.
The Tyranny of Words by Stuart Chase
George Orwell mentioned Chase in an essay about politics. He published A New Deal shortly before FDR's famous speech. He was a member of FDR's brain trust.
Daemon & Freedom by Daniel Suarez
Technologically up to date.
Correction to number 6 on the list: it should now be “Special Military Operation and Peace.”
Only in Putin's Russia...
To Kill A Mockingbird; The Brothers Karamazov; 1984; Anna Karenina; Madame Bovary; War and Peace; Lolita; The Great Gatsby; 100 Years of Solitude; The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank; In Search of Lost Time; The Handmaid’s Tale; The Master and Margarita; The Lord of the Rings; Pride and Prejudice; Jane Eyre; Animal Farm; Gone with the Wind; The Catcher in the Rye; Wucherung Heights; Moby Dick; Lord of the Flies; The Prince by Machiavelli; Things Fall Apart
No Shakespeare (plays could count as bound books in general)? No Dickens? No KJV Bible for literary influence? Yet The Handmaid's Tale is on here even though it's a contemporary work which is highly debatable as to its timeless literary value (e.g. Scarlet Letter is arguably artistically superior for similar themes). 😬
Great video!!
Thank you 😊🙏
Seriously? No Edgar Allan Poe? No John Steinbeck? No Kurt Vonnegut? But you got Gone With The Wind and Lord of the Rings in this limited list of 24 best? The rest of the list is fine, but these two certainly don't belong on any credible list of this sort. A popular book doesn't mean it is well-written or brings anything new to literature. If you are going that route, then just add the Harry Potter books, Fifty Shades of Grey, and all those romance novels by Danielle Steel!
Good idea
Thanks! 😊🙏

A pretty good list, I've read 10 of them. To anyone who hasn't read it I recommend scratching "Wuthering Heights" off your own list. The character Heathcliff is a very sour person, and the author did not explain clearly in her book that the novel does not proceed in sequential order, so it's confusing. "In Search of Lost Time" is one I don't plan to read, it's way too long. Most such lists include Don Quixote by M. Cervantes, which is long but less than half the length of Proust's opus. The narrator erred when she said Lord of the Rings goes back a century. The Hobbit, its prelude was written in 1937, and Lord of the Rings, I believe, in 1955 or '56 (The N.Y. Times did its review of L.O.T.R. on Jan. 22, 1956.) I believe The Catcher in the Rye is overrated, the narrator, Holder Caulfield, isn't a vile as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, but he's a spoiled teenager. Some of these books go back in time quite a while, and I've found that because times as well as vocabulary and ways of speech have changed a lot over time, it's hard to understand period novels without knowing about their time period. Enough for now.
I've read half of these.
Enjoyed:
‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by J.D. Salinger
‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte
‘Lord of the Flies’ by William Golding
'The Brothers Karamazov’ by Fyodor Dostoevsky
‘1984’ by George Orwell
‘Madame Bovary’ by Gustav Flaubert
‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
‘The Diary Of A Young Girl’ by Anne Frank
‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell
Did not enjoy:
‘Lolita’ by Vladimir Nabokov
‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fizgerald
‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ by Margaret Atwood
Ad of American movie, no sarte, no cammu no Balzac no Gorky, no lusun
Where is crime and punishment?
Karamasovs are stronger
Bargain bin, where it belongs.
Everyone should read the bible at least once.

Cannot agree with The Handmaid's Tale. It's just a radical feminist screed. Replace it with Dicken's Great Expectations.
