Where to buy books in Petrozavodsk


Reading is an essential part of a man’s life. Fiction, technical literature, popular science, magazines – they help you fulfill yourself, entertain yourself and, well, live! Every book is a breath-taking story (or a collection of stories), every manual is another step to perfection, every magazine is a store of relevant information of whatever kind you would want to know – from local to global-scale events, for example. And, of course, reading in Russian is a great contribution to your knowledge of the Russian language. In addition to it, you can acquire a book as a souvenir. What a pleasure is to shuffle through the pages of Dostoevsky or Pushkin from time to time!
In the city of Petrozavodsk books, manuals and magazines can be found in a number of bookstores. The largest are:
·         Meretskov St., 11 – “Tetris”. The widest range of literature – modern and classic, adult and infantile, and even comic strips are found on the fourth floor of this great shopping mall.
·         Oktyabrsky Avenue, 13 – “Kalevala”. Named after Karelian original folk epic poem, this is a great literature store.
·         Shotman St., 3 – “Knigolub”. It isn’t a very large store; actually it is the smallest of those listed here. However, right next to this store there is another one where you can acquire second hand books at low price. If you’re planning to buy a present – get a new book. If you’re buying for yourself you better go to this store.
·         Antikainen St., 34 – “Bukvoed”. This book store is the best Petrozavodsk can offer. It is as large as “Tetris” book store. What makes it the best book store is office supplies department where one can acquire pens, pencils, notebooks etc.
These four are the most notable book stores in Petrozavodsk. If you’re interested in books in Russian language, visit one nearest to your location.
In conclusion, several words about books that are most popular among readers. In “Tetris” and “Bukvoed” they are marked as “Лидеры продаж” (Lidery prodazh - bestsellers). It’s no use naming every author and book because they change. It would be an interesting experience to buy some book in Russian that you’ve already read in English. Plenty of new Russian words and expressions, interesting reflections, suspenseful stories – can be found inside Russian books which in their turn can be found in the book stores. Spare some time to visit one of them – you won’t be disappointed.
