Every month, Publishing Trends runs Fiction international bestseller lists from four territories–France, Germany, Italy, and Spain–with one rotating slot devoted to another territory of interest. August’s featured list is from Russia and is taken from the major bookseller Biblio-Globus, which updates their bestseller list weekly. (With thanks to Will Evans, Publisher at Deep Vellum, for his generous guidance on Russian bestseller lists).
Those books that have been published in English are listed with their official English-language title. All others are translated as literally as possible from the original. Where applicable, the US publisher is listed after the local publisher, separated by a “/”. The lists are taken from major newspapers or national retailers, which are noted at the bottom of each list.
