In this article, we have compiled a list of books with a wonderful atmosphere that will not leave you indifferent.
“Wonderland without Brakes and the End of the World”, Haruki Murakami
The idea to create something whole from two stories that take place in different places, and then intersect, came to Haruki Murakami five years before the publication of the novel. Then he felt that he had not sufficiently disclosed the topic, and now we see a modified and improved version. The novel has an unusual structure: the odd chapters are occupied by the story “Wonderland without Brakes”, and the even ones are “The End of the World”.
“The Magus”, John Fowles
John Fowles is an outstanding representative of postmodernism and a master of creating an atmosphere. In the book, he masterfully combines realism, mysticism, and detective. The novel is rich in references to ancient Greek myths, Shakespeare’s “Tempest” and even Chekhov. The work caused a mixed response from critics and readers, and many called it difficult, but the author assured that his novel made no more sense than in “Rorschach spots”.
“Silk and Other Stories” by Alessandro Baricco
Inside the book are six short stories by the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco. He knows how to reveal the characters so that you will remember them for a long time. His works have repeatedly occupied the top places on the bestseller lists in Italy and France — countries that know a lot about good love stories. And in 2007, the film adaptation of the novel “Silk” with Keira Knightley in the title role was released.
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Almost everyone has heard about this work. One Hundred Years of Solitude is the second most important novel in Spanish after Don Quixote. Just think about it: Roman is already 52 years old, and he is still on the ear! It is no coincidence that Gabriel Garcia Marquez received the Nobel Prize for his valuable contribution to literature.

Gothic melodrama, which some critics call “Jane Eyre” of the 20th century. In 2000, the novel won the Anthony Award and was named the best novel of the century.

“The Art of hearing the heartbeat”, Jan-Philippe Zendker
The debut novel by Jan-Philippe Zendker. The author firmly decided to become a writer at the age of 13, but for a long time could not finish any work.

“The Thirteenth Fairy Tale” by Diana Setterfield
Critics compare the style of Diana Setterfield with the sisters Bronte and Daphne Du Maurier. The novel was shortlisted for the British Book Oscar – Galaxy British Book Award 2007.
