The best author in the World and why?

In you opinion who is the best author in the World and why…

Way too big of a question. Each great author has different characteristics which make him/her the “best” in some minds. And even then people will disagree.

My favorite author to read is Shakespeare. His characters, the structures of his plays, and the way he portrays the different aspects of life is amazing to me.

Suggestions:
Dostoevsky : Brothers Karamazov
Cervantes: Don Quixote
Alighieri: Divine Comedy
Tolkien: Lord of the Rings
Bradbury: Farenheit 451

Print Culture and the Medieval Author $110 Alexandra Gillespie takes a new look at hundreds of neglected old books containing works by Chaucer, the 'father' of English poetry, and his much-maligned follower, John Lydgate. She demonstrates that the shift from manuscript to print was part of the controversial process by which Chaucer earned his exclusive place in English literary history. – ;Print Culture and the Medieval Author is a book about books. Examining hundreds of early printed books and their late medieval analogues, Alexandra Gillespie writes a bibliographical history of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer and his follower John Lydgate in the century after the arrival of printing in England. Her study is an important new contribution to the emerging 'sociology of the text' in English literary and historical studies. At the centre of this study is a familiar question: what is an author? The idea of the vernacular writer was already contested and unstable in medieval England; Gillespie demonstrates that in the late Middle Ages it was also a way for book producers and readers to mediate the risks – commercial, political, religious, and imaginative – involved in the publication of literary texts. Gillespie's discussion focuses on the changes associated with the shift to print, scribal precedents for these changes, and contemporary understanding of them. The treatment of texts associated with Chaucer and Lydgate is an index to the sometimes flexible, sometimes resistant responses of book printers, copyists, decorators, distributors, patrons, censors, owners, and readers to a gradual but profoundly influential bibliographical transition. The research is conducted across somewhat intractable boundaries. Gillespie writes about medieval and modern history; about manuscript and print; about canonical and marginal authors; about literary works and books as objects. In the process, she finds new meanings for some medieval vernacular texts and a new place for some old books in a history of English culture. – ;Gillespie's dexterity in moving between manuscript and print… means for me that this book succeeds best as an introduction to the vast range of ways in which books of all kinds can construct meanings associated with authorship, and as a general discussion of the variety of forms in which 'authors' can be conceived and textually embodied. – Julia Boffey, The Library;…a sharply focused examination. – Isabel Davis, Times Literary Supplement;at once an intense study … and a cultural history of an age of religious reform… demands a careful reading [however] the importance of its findings will reward the reader's efforts. – Isabel Davis, TLS
