Prooemium
Mario Astarita
Critics are now nearly all agree that English literature is being crossed by a new wave of best-selling book that has shaken the world market. footsteps of Cervantes, Quevedo and Unamuno English literature is reaping one success after another on the cutting edge of new authors on the literary. The bookshelves are full of English fiction novels that not only highly successful but that the public likes. And so. Books like "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Mondadori), "The Cathedral of the Sea" by Ildefonso Falcones (Longanesi), "The light of God" by Juan Gomez Jurado (Longanesi), "The Last Cato of Matilde Asensi (Sonzogno), "The bible of clay" by Julia Navarro (Mondadori), "Secret Supper" by Javier Sierra (Tropea), and we could go on and on, are shaking the publishing market. What is the lowest common denominator of all these works? No doubt that novels are well written, with compelling storylines, with the debut authors who have cornered the market in a short editorial. But the truth is another and that is: these historical novels - much like the religious public and especially marketing. The texts of the new English literature is a well-focused mix of history, mystery, culture, love, intrigue, with a style that mixes various genres and blends them into one whole. Most of the time seems almost follow a film of the '50s and '60s, so that the plot is compelling. The truth is that even now the English literature was dragged out of the neo-realism and anti-Franco is getting closer and closer to the literary style which has been operating normally in the Anglo-Saxon literature, that the mystery genre - fantasy or fact has long been an established tradition. A new era is making its way to the English literature: a road perhaps a little 'uphill, but it will be a long road, which will surely bring to the forefront of the English literary world publishing scene. This is just the beginning!
