We started at 1918, bringing you the bestselling books of the last one hundred years. We’re moving along now, covering each year at a time and we’re into the 1930s. Today we’re documenting the ten bestselling books of 1933, and what you were reading instead.
Already we can see some hot authors and trends appearing now and as the years tick on it’s likely that you’ll start recognising some contemporary authors and others who have been publishing through the decades.
So here they are, the ten top selling books of 1933, the year construction started on the Golden Gate Bridge, and the year that ominously Hitler was voted into power.
We’re also featuring some well known books that didn’t make the cut!
The number ten book, Little Man, What Now? would be Hans Fallada’s downfall, banned by Hitler after a major adaptation by a Jewish film production company.
1933 also saw the release of Nathanael West’s, Miss Lonelyhearts.
We’ll continue this series right through to 2018, keep an eye out for 1934, coming soon!
