- BBC's list of 100 novels that shaped our world include English language novels, written over the last 300 years. These novels range from children classics to popular page turners and reflect the ways books help shape and influence our thinking.
The list was compiled by BBC Arts. Details are available at www.bbc.com/news/entertainmen...

Everyone recognizes that something is wrong here, so I think the explanation for this list is this:
1)They are listing trendsetting novels, presumably in the sense of having an influence on what others (including the best-selling flavors of the day) would write. They are not necessarily trying to list important literature.
2) The focus is on English language novels.
3) Also I guess this assignment may have been handed to almost any ad hoc BBC employee committee.
The last point is ,hilariously, on the spot!!!!
No Tolstoy, no Dostoevsky and did that really say Mark Shelley wrote Frankenstein? .......This is the BBC!
They did not even list the world's first novel, Don Quixote, or the first English novel, Robinson Crusoe. Surely the first novels ever written are influencial, right?
What happened to Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? How about Huckelberry Finn by Mark Twain and The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood?
How have novels written within the last 10 years shaped our world? This is a list of somebody’s favourite reads which I appreciate but definitely not world shaping.
The moment I saw Twilight Saga I knew this list garbage lol
Exactly
Work experience kid who works coupla hours for the BBC after school on a Wednesday arvo made this list.
Good video. But where's Crime and Punishment, War and Peace, A man called Ove, etc.. Hell, Dracula popularised the vampire genre, which brought us Castlevania, Twilight and Nosferatu.
We are not in Kansas anymore:
*Daemon* & *Freedom* (2006) by Daniel Suarez
Get a grip Toto!
Hardly world shaping
You left out The Bible, the Koran, Shakespeare for the Diary of Briget Jones? I mean it was cute but hardly world shaping.
Bridget Jones' Diary is literally just a retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It was an influenced novel, not an influencial novel. I do agree with omiting Shakespeare and the Bible, etc. because they are not novels. That said, they did not even list the world's first novel, Don Quixote, or the first English novel, Robinson Crusoe. Surely they are influencial.
It is not these novels shapped my life
Did that really say Mark Shelly wrote Frankenstein?
It's almost like the media is incapable of telling the truth.
Where's - The Midnight Children, Satanic Verses, The White Tiger, Life of Pi,

This video definitely needs a dislike count.
No Dostoyevsky, no Tolstoy, no Cervantes, no Kafka, no Zola, no Flaubert…. What kind of shitty list is this? Ah, of course, the crappy biased BBC. Utter excrement, even if there are some great books here and there. How shameful really.

How did they come up with THIS list? What was their agenda? Diversity and inclusion and equity for the most part.
