There have been several titles that experts have named as “best selling books in history” as The Bible either Don Quijote of La Manchahowever, the book has been created for several centuries and there were not always ways to measure which were the most popular works –like now amazon does– coupled with the level of illiteracy of the time.
They have been long debates among historians about which was the first book in history: whether the earliest writings on clay, bone, or wax and wood tablets from Mesopotamia; the papyrus scrolls in Alexandria; those made with bamboo and silk in ancient China or the codices, the truth is that this object has accompanied the human being throughout his life and, like man, has evolved.
And it is that after the invention of the movable type printing press in 1440 by the hand of Johannes Gutenbergpassing through bookstores, the increase in literacy, the arrival of the internet and with it the digitization of content, now one of the really big challenges is the amount of texts available to read.
With this, technology has facilitated the way to measure the fame of literary pieces, one of them is the ranking offered by the Amazon platforma list that works like a snapshot of society by recording what readers are “devouring” at a given time.
From essays, poetry, comics, comedy, novels, suspense, science fiction to horror stories or self-improvement, these are the 10 best-selling books this Saturday, August 6 on Amazon Mexico.
