Do you think you know what the 10 best-selling fiction books of all time are? Let’s see if you can guess the book that has already sold no less than 150 million copies (and no, it’s not “Harry Potter”)
The biggest bestsellers in the history of literature have been around for a long time – the newest of the bestsellers was published in 1997, and the oldest – in 1754, but some books never go out of style, as can be seen by their sales figures over the years.
Similar to the way it was over 100 years ago, readers are drawn to adventure and fantasy books, and almost all the books on the list feature events that are far from our gray reality.
So, let’s get into it: the complete list of the 10 best-selling fiction books in the world.

Despite the long time that has passed since then, the kind-hearted Geppetto, the carpenter, the wooden doll he brought to life, and his strange adventures have fascinated hundreds of millions of children worldwide to this very day.
