Nguyễn Nhật Ánh

Nguyen Nhat Anh is a well-known Vietnamese author who writes for teenagers. His books are interesting and funny. What I like the most is how he set the names of his books. It is extremely poetic, very Vietnamese, and charming (I see the content, words, sentences are occasionally written repeatedly only because it is written only by a person, isn't it). Some of these:

1. Cô gái đến từ hôm qua (The girl from yesterday). It is translated to English, so it is not very Vietnamese. Can you feel it? In Vietnamese, it is so poetic every single word. There is a movie and a song set this name, too.

                                      

2. Ngồi khóc trên cây (Sitting crying on the tree): I also used to sit crying on the tree in my childhood. These things make him become famous since he writes things from a kid's childhood in Vietnam, easy to enter the heart.

                                        

3. Tôi thấy hoa vàng trên cỏ xanh (I see yellow flowers on the green grass)

This book is also made into a movie

                                       

4. Cho tôi một vé đi tuổi thơ (Give me a ticket to childhood)

There is a song setting this name. It is very amazing

     

5. Còn chút gì để nhớ (What's left to remember)

6. Đi qua hoa cúc (Through the daisy)

7. Ngôi trường mọi khi (The school as always)

8. Lá nằm trong lá (leaves in leaves)

9. Người Quảng đi ăn mì Quảng (Quang people eating Quang noodles)

10. Có hai con mèo ngồi bên cửa sổ (Two cats sitting beside the windows)

11. Cây chuối non đi màu xanh (Young banana trees wear green shoes)

12. Cám ơn người lớn (Thank you adults)

13. Bồ câu không đưa thư (The dove that doesn't bring you letters)
