While browsing the internet, I came across an interesting infographic, titled “The Battle of the Genres ,” created by the agency Mediaworks for Furniture UK, and I couldn't resist sharing it with you. The original infographic is a single image, but I've decided to break it down into smaller pieces so that everyone can see and analyze it more easily.
The infographic shows the best-selling books in history classified by genre, which allows us not only to know the most popular genres, but also the best-selling works of each of the genres.
Below we see in a graph all the literary genres analyzed in the infographic, with the percentage of sales of each of them:
Now it's time to learn about the most important genres and also the best-selling works in each of these literary genres.
