\n\tHundreds of people on December 4 formed lines to purchase books issued at the Cartier publishing house at half price. But this didn\u2019t make the readers give up acquiring the wanted books. The event was held before the Feast of Saint Nicholas at two bookshops in Chisinau, IPN reports.<\/p>\n
\tAccording to the director of the Cartier publishing house Gheorghe Erizanu, among the most popular books were \u201cOur unknown Chisinau\u201d by Iurie Colesnic, \u201cEra of Extremes\u201d by Eric Hobsbawm, Grigore Vieru\u2019s poems and \u201cAtlas\u2019s Revolt\u201d by Ayn Rand.<\/p>\n
\tAureliu Busuioc\u2019s novel \u201cAlone before love\u201d, \u201c1979\u201d by Christian Kracht and \u201cNew Machiavelli\u201d by Jonathan Powell were also popular with the buyers.<\/p>\n
\tThe about 1,200 readers who came after their preferred books bought also children\u2019s book. \u201cAlbinuta\u201d remains one of the most favorite books in this category, followed by \u201cAlphabet with tales\u201d by Lica Sainciuc, \u201cBallad of the five kittens\u201d and \u201cThe Story of an Ant\u201d by Ion Druta.<\/p>\n
\tGheorghe Erizanu said the event exceeded organizers\u2019 expectations. \u201cA lot of young people came. This is very good. The readers of the books of Cartier are young and we know it, but I\u2019m glad every time I see young people in the bookshops. There were long queues. The people have to wait for about 40 minutes to get to the cash desk,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\tThe publishing house Cartier has staged such an event for the fourth consecutive year.<\/p>\n
