March 3 Writer's Day was celebrated around the world.

It was adopted at the 48th Congress of the International PEN Club (PEN International) in 1986.

The PEN club (poets, essayists, novelists) is a human rights organization that unites professional writers working in various genres of literature.

This day is an occasion to honor literary figures who have gained recognition and brought their thoughts into our lives through their "mastery of words"; whose works did not leave us indifferent and became a reason for reflection.

Every year on December 10 in the capitals of Sweden and Norway, the Nobel Prize is awarded for certain achievements in various fields, including literary excellence. Alfred Nobel bequeathed awarding the prize for "the most outstanding literary work", not for circulation and popularity.

The very concept of "best-selling book" already existed at the beginning of the 20th century, and the volume of sales at least partially confirms the skill and literary significance of the writer.

Therefore, these days we want to introduce you to some outstanding writers - Nobel laureates in literature, who wrote not only complex and "intelligent" books, but also stories that captivate the reader and do not let go until the end of reading the work. Classics are also interesting;)
