Having a successful book release in the 21st century no longer depends simply on writing a good book, but also on the marketing and distributing channels. Dan Brown and his team obviously managed that, because selling 80 million copies over 7 years is simply remarkable.
在21世纪，新书要成功上市，不仅要写得好，市场营销和分销渠道也是很重要的。丹布朗的团队显然深谙此道，7年多售出8千万本确实很了不起。

The Da Vinci Code is a mysterious story depicting a cohesion between Catholic religious beliefs and the modern world. You should fasten your seat belts before you start reading it, because the pace is quick and you could easily get off track!
《达芬奇密码》是一本关于现代社会中天主教信仰的神秘小说。你在读之前最好坐稳了，因为它的节奏很快，你一不小心就会跟不上。

6. The Alchemist, Author: Paulo Coelho
《炼金术师》，作者：保罗 科埃略

# of sold copies: 65 million
售出：6千5百万本

First edition: 1988
第一版：1988

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it". I don't know how does the original in Portugese sound, so the translation will have to suffice. The point is that Paulo Coelho tells us that if you want something real badly, you shall have it.
“如果你想要什么， 整个宇宙都会帮你得到”。我不知道在葡萄牙原话是怎么说的，但基本上就是这个意思。重点是，保罗科埃略告诉我们，如果你真的十分想要某样东西，你应该拥有它。

The Alchemist tells a story of a young shepherd boy who overcomes love and danger on his quest for a treasure. Apparently, the story is so good that it had to be translated into 67 languages and breaking a Guiness record in translations for a living author.
《炼金术师》讲述了一个牧羊男孩克服了爱情和危险去探寻宝藏的故事，很显然，这个故事非常的棒以至于被翻译成了67种语言，也创造了现世作家作品被翻译的吉尼斯纪录。

What might especially young people find very appealing is that Paulo Coelho encourages people to use peer to peer networks, because he perfectly understands that people are honest and they will pay for good work - eventually.
保罗 科埃略鼓励人们使用p2p网络技术，因为他完全相信人们是诚实的，他们最终会用在好好工作上，对于年轻人来说，这点让他显得更加有魅力。
