I’m trying to read more original French and Spanish, but I’m not at the level to read Balzac or Cervantes.

Who are the Dan Browns and Steven Kings of Spain and France?

    Unfortunately, I’m your first comment and I’m going to disappoint a because I don’t have any specific recommendations. But I do have an idea.

    If you’re looking for the Dan Browns and Stephen Kings of the Spanish and French languages, why not start with translations of those authors into those languages? This might be especially useful if you read a story that you’re already somewhat familiar with. A Spanish translation of “The Gunslinger” sounds like something I’d be interested in once my language skills improve.

    Also, abridged versions of novels are often written with younger readers in mind, so an abridged version might be more accessible.

    You’ve probably already done this and are looking for something more. I hope you get some better answers so I can check back here for recommendations too.
