![Want to read some books from different countries around the world? Here are five books recommended from five different people at Fairview, who are all from different countries:
You Bring the Distant Near is a book from India written by Mitali Perkins. “I really enjoy this book because it’s a book that spans generations,” said Rupali Hofmann, Fairview High School Community Liaison. “It's a book that not only a student would like, but their parent, or their grandparent, or their guardian [would too]. It’s a book that is really great for all generations”
Amal Unbound, is a Pakistani novel written by Aisha Saeed. “I like this book because it’s a somewhat relatable and fascinating story about the rural areas of Pakistan,” said Zani Malik (9).
骆驼祥子 (Camel Xiangzi) is a Chinese novel originally written by Lao She that has been translated to English several times. “It lets people learn more about Chinese history and traditions and have a better understanding of Chinese cultural history,” said Snow Liu (11).
소나기 (Rain Shower), written by Hwang Sun-won, is a short story that continues to be a classic in South Korea 72 years after it was originally published. “[It]is one of the benchmarks of contemporary Korean literature,” said Laura Kim (10).
O Continente, written by Erick Verissimo, is the first novel of the Brazilian trilogy called The Time and the Wind. “I like it because it’s a novel that talks a little bit about the history of the state I’m from in Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul.” said Ana Laura da Broi (11), a staff member of Fairview Publications. “It might be a confusing book since it doesn’t have a defined timeline, but it’s extremely well written and one of the classics of Brazilian literature.“
These are just five recommendations of five books from different foreign countries; several more countries have millions of their own books. Reading foreign books can not only increase their readers’ comprehensive and literature skills, but it can also teach them more about the culture or language of that country.
