The 20 books of the best screen adaptations (to be recovered under the umbrella)

The catalog from film and of TV series rinse o based on novels it is huge. From Kubrick to Scorsese via Hitchcock; the history of cinema is dotted with directors who have accepted the arduous challenge of translating their best-loved best-sellers into moving images.

There are rare cases where a movie (or a series) can, really, make you appreciate the book even more. See the acclaimed Chess Queen from the 1983 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis, already, author of other hugely successful works in Hollywood such as The Spaccone with Paul Newman and his sequel.

In this summer of escape, in which the sun is preferred to on demand, we recommend (in the gallery above) the 20 books from which the best screen adaptations were drawn (yes, there is also Stephen King) to be recovered under the umbrella, in front of a frozen cocktail. From the award-winning Nomadland (from the investigation book by Jessica brother) to the teenage cult Stand By Me (from the collection of short stories Different seasons from King), from the award-winning series Big Little Lies (from the pages of Liane Moriarty) up to the classic One flew over the cuckoo’s nest (from the bestseller by Ken Kesey)…
