The first volume of the simplified Chinese version of the British bestseller “Thursday Reasoning Club” will be released in April.
Ann Mul Bolin created by director Spielberg（Amblin）Entertainment has bought the film and television adaptation rights of the book, and the film and television work of the same name is in production.
“The Thursday Reasoning Club” was published in the United Kingdom in September 2020. The author is a well-known British TV host Richard Osman, who revealed in the promotion of the new book: “Before the publication of “The Thursday Reasoning Club”, director Spielberg Grid just read my writing manuscript, and decided to buy the film and television adaptation copyright of this series of novels.” It is reported that the book has sold 5 million copies worldwide within 18 months of its listing, and continues to rank in the top 1 of many book sales rankings. And “Sunday Times”, “New York Times” and other media bestseller list TOP1 position.
The story of this book takes place in an upscale retirement community in the English countryside. Former agent Elizabeth, former nurse Joyce, former labor movement leader Ron, and Ibrahim, who is still a psychiatrist, refuse to “wear diapers and change in a wheelchair.” “Old”, the four formed the “Thursday Reasoning Club” to study the mysterious cases that the police have not solved for many years. Unexpectedly, serial murders really happened around them, and the “easy chair detectives” with an average age of 77.5 years showed their magical powers, always one step ahead of the police to find clues and suspects, and finally solved the truth behind the mysteries.
The reasoning process of the “Thursday Reasoning Four” is also the life stage of the victims, suspects and protagonists. The life stories of each person are connected to form a rich social picture, with social phenomena such as intergenerational communication and pension issues running through it. Every life is about the life motif of love and redemption. This book inherits and develops the tradition of British novels and detective novels, and the shadows of Agatha Christie, Dickens and Jane Austen are looming.
The Red Star News reporter was informed that the first part of the simplified Chinese version of the book was published by Relay Press, and the second part is planned to be launched at the end of this year.
