Hi everyone, I’m Ana María from Madrid. Did you know this?

There is an international survey of writers organized by the Nobel Institute together with the Norwegian Book Club, in which 100 authors from 54 countries voted for the works they consider the most important in world literature. Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes received more votes than any other book, ranking as the most highly regarded work in that global survey of writers.

The survey was conducted in 2002 by the Norwegian Book Club in collaboration with the Nobel Institute. One hundred writers from 54 countries took part by selecting their ten favorite titles to form a “Library of World Literature.” The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha received 50% more votes than the next work, showing a very broad consensus among the authors surveyed.

I just wanted to share this fact with those who haven’t read it yet…
