What book is rated number 1 in literature?

Answer 1

That is an impossible question to answer because it is all a matter of taste. Which film is better, for example, a black-and-white foreign film that critics agree is of the highest level of artistic achievement or a Hollywood blockbuster that the masses want to see again and again? One is considered by a group of experts to be the better film but more people consider the Hollywood film to have a greater entertainment value, so who's right? I will say that the American Library Association, which is comprised of an impressive list of writers and scholars, voted James Joyce's "Ulysses" as the greatest English-language novel of the 20th century. Of course, this says nothing about the place of "Ulysses" among novels of other centuries, not to mention novels written in other languages, but it is certainly considered by critics to be a massive achievement. At the same time, "Ulysses" is, like "Finnegan's Wake," virtually impenetrable by almost anyone without a strong background in English.

Answer 2

It is difficult to determine a single book that is rated number 1 in literature, as preferences can vary greatly among readers and critics. Some widely celebrated works in literature include "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, "Moby-Dick" by Herman Melville, and "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
