There have always been authors who have produced an impressive number of works. Emilio Salgari (1862-1911) wrote over 80 novels (not counting the many short stories) in 28 years of literary activity. Almost 3 works a year. And at that time there was no computer to speed up writing. How did Salgari write ? He used simple language, accessible to everyone. His books were adventure novels and therefore did not require hundreds of pages (as seems to happen today). Perhaps the longest novel I've read so far is about 300. Jules Verne (1828-1905) wrote around ninety novels , a good number of short stories and many plays, in almost 60 years of literary activity.
How did Verne write ? Like Salgari. Obviously I don't mean in the same style, but I'm talking about language. Another prolific author was Alexandre Dumas , who however had collaborators . There are those who say that they limited themselves to historical research and little else and those who say that many of his masterpieces were instead written by Special Data one of them. We will probably never know the truth. Horrifying news Exaggerated subtitle, but I wanted your attention. Days ago I received a newsletter from Longanesi, the title of which was also written to attract attention: "Books by Wilbur Smith soon out of production". “A real shame,” they wrote to Longanesi. “And thank goodness”, I thought instead.
But I'll let you read what triggered that thought of mine, which is the reason why Wilbur Smith's books will soon be out of production: Wilbur Smith's English-language publisher has changed repeatedly since 2013. In the meantime, since the Italian publishing house Longanesi has not acquired the rights to his next 8 novels - written with the co-authors who are entrusted with the drafting of the plots packaged by Wilbur Smith ... The bold is mine, but I still wanted your attention. Did I get it right? Does Wilbur Smith package plots and other authors turn them into novels? I wonder whose name appears on the cover. I wonder how many past novels were written like this. One of Stephen King's last novels, Sleeping Beauties , featured two names: his and his son's. The House of Darkness also carried two: his and Peter Straub's.
