Culture: Jeff Kinney and Jamie Oliver in Luxembourg 2011 Bestseller list
American author and cartoonist Kinney is represented twice in International top ten
Luxembourg's federation of publishers has announced the best-selling books of 2011. There are two distinct categories : National, for books by Luxembourgish authors, although not necessarily in Luxembourgish and International, for books in any other language, but mostly titles translated into German or French.
In the International category there are three books, translated from English into German. Fourth place goes to American author and cartoonist Jeff Kinney for Diary of a Wimpy Kid:The Ugly Truth , the fifth instalment in this series about a troubled school-kid. Just for the record : Its German title is Gregs Tagebuch:Geht's noch? The same author is also in sixth position with the latest instalment, namely Diary of a Wimpy Kid:Cabin Fever.
Tenth spot in Luxembourg's bestseller list for 2011 goes to famous British cook Jamie Oliver for a German translation of his 30 Minute Meals.
The most successful international book in Luxembourg for 2011 was a book about interesting scientific facts by German author Ranga Yogeshwar.
In the National section the top spot goes to Alain Atten for his work De Sproochmates, a book all about the Luxembourgish language.
Further down the list are, amongst others, two cook books and two works about Luxembourgish cyclists.
