Nothing new at the top of the test ranking: the match continues between Nicolas Demorand and Giuliano Da Empoli. If Da Empoli is first on the past week, Demorand remains in the lead in terms of cumulative sales, and already reaches almost 50,000 copies with Interior nighthis confession on the bipolar disorder he suffers. The last -day event is the entry to 14th place in Boualem Sansal with its Speech for the peace prize for German booksellers and publisherspronounced in Francfort-sur-le-Main on October 16, 2011. Placed in the inheritance of Camus, who said that “writing is already choosing”, this reflection on dictatorship and freedom has lost nothing of its news. While Sansal was sentenced to five years in prison by the Algerian regime, let us recall that, on this side of the Mediterranean, he was in 2015 winner of the Grand Prix of the Roman of the French Academy for 2084: The end of the worlddystopia having affected 400,000 readers – who do not forget it today.
A word again on this Speech for the peace prize for German booksellers and publishers. The text appears in Gallimard in the collection “Tracs”, which has experienced a constant success since its launch in 2019-and whose bestseller remains Freely of François Sureau, sold in more than 100,000 copies. In a society where the time granted to reading continues to decrease, is the small format the future of the book, or in any case that of the test? Recall that the account of Nicolas Demorand has only 104 pages.

When we study our ranking, difficult to ignore Resist From Salomé Sacé: with its title at Stéphane Hessel, its 144 pages and its price more than affordable (5 euros), this manifest has hugs to the podium of tests since last October and has been sold since 250,000 copies. Two places below, we note the presence of the amazing Alexandre Jardin with The #gueuxrant of 48 pages (sold less than 5 euros) in which the author of Zebra defends motorists pressurized by legislation. Other than that, doctors continue to be in great shape, by Emilie Steinbach (4th with Your optimized health. The protocol that will change your life) in Guillaume Fonde (20th with Nourish your brain well. Against stress, anxiety, depression, cognitive decline).
On the novel side, it’s almost flat calm. Only one entry into the top 20: Caryl Férey who ranks 12th with Grindadrápits new thriller located in the Faroe Islands. Apart from him, we take the same and we start again: Joël Dicker, Suzanne Collins, Bernard Minier, Sylvain Tesson, Freida McFadden … A little lower, let us note the great performance of the primary romancist (and columnist Daily) Amber Chalumeau. With The livingwhere she remembers her student years with a Sagan 2.0 way, she climbs from 13th to 9th place and exceeds 20,000 copies. His book has more than 300 pages. The proof that it is not only in romance that literature can find its audience within the young generation?
