어드벤처 모험관련 책 베스트 50(해외)

해외 책베스트 리스트입니다.

성격이 모험물만 모아놓은 책들인데

1위부터 국내 출간본을 보니 간간이 있습니다. 가장 눈에 띄는게 2위인 쌩떽쥐베리의 인간의 대지

웨이백 등이네요. 쓰리컵 역시 국내 출간이 되었습니다. 티벳에서 7년간도 있고, 인투더월드는 영화로 나왔는데 번역은 안되었나 봅니다.

이런 리스트도 꼼꼼하게 보시면 재미있는 책들이 많습니다.

맘같아서는 모두 국내 출간본 검색해서 올리고 싶지만 ㅎㅎ 시간 많이 걸리는거 아시죠? ~~

뜻이 있는곳에 길이 있듯이 읽고 싶은 책들은 찾다보면 의외의 재미있는 책을 읽을수 있습니다.
