I went to my job in Webradio which i was commentator when i see a French BFMTV News Channel with an interview with mayor of Paris Anne Hildago. She upholds the right of French bookshops to be open during a lockdown to help it. Books has retired by supermarkets to be consider as non-essential thing by the government since last month.
The bookshops is so essential to French history. Writers as Jean Paul Sartre or Moliere is a national pride for french citizens. It can’t be sell by bookshops and supermarkets is a huge blow for economy while Amazon can sell it with discount cupons and is the cheapest for consumers.
In Brazil, my bookreader friend is so worry with that. Brazilians don’t have habit to read books and buy it in Bookshops. Only 17% of the cities has bookstores or libraries. The readers like me is complicated to buy a book at the same time with many writers offers discount cupons to their fans in Amazon website.
I get out of one of this groups to be critical for Amazon’ writers.
Hidalgo’s defence to keep open bookshops is so important for French readers and booksellers. I don’t give up like this new french resistence for love by books.
