What about the phrase "best book ever written"?
Are you asking a question? As of now, you only wrote a noun phrase with a question mark at the end. I have no idea what you are asking or implying by posting that image. Please delete this thread and remake it with a clearer question or statement.

If you are asking my opinion then maybe Ficciones

The subject of the question is plainly implied by the accompanying image. The sentence is perfectly grammatical with this contextualization and falls into a class of sentence known as "implied subject." Other examples of the implied subject are the perfectly grammatical sentences "I do" and "yes."
