"Robinson Crusoe" sales of the sudden surge, so that many people marvel, but also let some people feel very uncomfortable, such as Brian''s assistant, at the moment his mood is very uncomfortable.
Since Kevin turned down his invitation and Mr. Bryan''s enthusiasm, he has a lot of ideas for Kevin. And before the publication of Kevin''s new book, he also incited netizens to attack Kevin many times.
But now? In exchange, Kevin''s "Robinson Crusoe" has overtaken paddock''s new book, and now the voice is loud. It can only be said that he was left with loss and disappointment.
Kevin''s signings are still going on, from Edinburgh to Liverpool, to Aberdeen, to Dundee City, Newcastle, Cambridge... Every city, every signings scene is crowded, very hot.
This situation also immediately attracted the attention of some literary newspapers, especially his owner Time magazine. Kevin was his columnist, so they naturally wanted to report on this writer.
The title of time is the fire of our columnist''s new book.
The article uses extremely exaggerated words to describe how popular Kevin''s new book is. For example, they said: Kevin''s "Robinson Crusoe" is like a tornado, where it will always set off a lot of disturbances. Yes, no one will not be affected by it, no one dares not to look at it.
With the report of time magazine, Robinson Crusoe is known by more people. As a result, the "storm" about it continues.
At this time, in addition to the sales storm of Robinson Crusoe, there was also a storm on the Internet, that is, the classic quotation summary storm. The storm also came from the forum founded by Allen.
This topic was also initiated by Allen in the forum, with the purpose of discovering all the classic quotations in Robinson Crusoe.
As soon as Allen''s topic was put to the top, many people took part in it. They leave a message below the topic one by one
"No matter how difficult and uncomfortable a situation is, there are still some positive situations to be thankful for."
"I often sit down to eat with gratitude and admire the goodness of God, for he has given me rich and beautiful things in the wilderness. I have learned to pay attention to the bright side of my situation and pay less attention to its dark side; Think more about what I enjoy and less about what I lack. This kind of attitude sometimes makes me feel a kind of heartfelt comfort, which can hardly be expressed in words I think that we are not satisfied with what we need because people are not grateful for what they have got. "
"In human feelings, there is always a hidden motive force. Once this motive force is attracted by some visible goal, and disaster is attracted by some invisible but imaginable goal, it will push our spirit towards that goal with a kind of courageous force. If we can''t reach the goal, it will make us suffer too much."
"Obviously, most of us can''t understand the benefits of the original environment if we have to see the worse environment with our own eyes; If you have to be at the end of your tether, you don''t know how to cherish what you enjoy. "
"There is a common problem among ordinary people, that is, they are often dissatisfied with the living environment arranged for them by God and nature. In my opinion, at least half of their sufferings are caused by this common disease. "
This "classic quotation storm" also once again prompted the "Robinson Crusoe" sales soared. For several days in a row, "Robinson Crusoe" has put paddock''s "terror without understanding" under the pressure, becoming the new 24-hour sales king.
Padik himself has noticed this message. He has long been famous in the literary world. And he himself has been hoping that someone can take his place and write the British adventure novels better.
Therefore, when he saw that Kevin''s new book sales exceeded his own "terror without understanding", as a master, he also adhered to the spirit of the master.
"It should be a good book. I''m interested in him, too." Padik said to his assistant.
So padik asked his assistant to go to the market and buy a copy. Then he began to read it himself. Padik seldom read the works of his peers, especially those of new writers. This time, if it wasn''t for Kevin''s hot book and high evaluation, he wouldn''t be interested.
When his assistant bought him "Robinson pretty" from the market, he had nothing to do and began to watch it.
As an adventurer and writer in his sixties, he has heard and visited many places. Therefore, he is also confident that he will not have too many exclamations about ordinary adventure novels.
But when he took the time to see Robinson escape to the island, and then saved a savage, and named him "Friday", his interest was completely ignited.
Padik, like everyone else, is curious about Robinson and what will happen after this "Friday" or what their final result will be.
This kind of curiosity made him forget that he was an adventurer, and he was a writer in a wild way.
When he finished reading the whole book Robinson Crusoe, he had to look up in surprise, and then exclaimed: my God, English literature finally need not worry. Kevin is really an imaginative writer. He can think of such a wonderful and exciting story. No wonder sales are so good now.
After seeing Kevin''s writing and plot, paddock also felt that he had lost.
So, in his tweet, Paddick said: Kevin is really a literary genius. The future of our English literature is bright. His book Robinson Crusoe is wonderful and exciting. I like it.
Padik''s tweet is undoubtedly shocking. Because when Kevin''s new book sales surpass his new book, terror without understanding, many people think that he will be in a bad mood or lose face.
But paddock was able to make a big push at this time. Terry made a high evaluation of Kevin''s new book. This has to make people admire his magnanimity and mind.
Padik also proved with his actions that his bearing as a British literary master can be as vast and tolerant as the sea.
