It's not rocket science, folks! The increased demand for "Unlisted" (also affectionately known as "Unclaimed" or "Not Listed") can be traced back to a couple of compelling factors playing out:
- War Anniversary Resurgence - The 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II serves as a poignant reminder, triggering an avalanche of public contemplation, media coverage, and cultural activities focused on the conflict. People look to these moments to appreciate, remember, and honor the epoch-making sacrifices and stories of that era, boosting the demand for relevant literature.
- Film Adaptation / The silver screen version of "Unlisted" has the power to pique curiosity and appeal to a broader audience. Newcomers to the book are more likely to join the party post-film, eager for a deeper dive into the story, characters, and historical backdrop. The hype generated by the movie release and publicity campaigns also intentionally collides with the anniversary anniversary, shining a spotlight upon Vasilyev's magnum opus.
*Together, the anniversary and the movie adaptation create a swell of interest making us realize why Boris Vasilyev's stories about wartime experiences are seeing a resurgence.
