Description

Paris (France), 4 Nov (EFE) - (Camera: María Valderrama) In Paris amid the pandemic, bookstores are also suffering. This is the case for the mythical Shakespeare and Company, a temple for lovers of literature, which has had to launch an appeal for help following a drop in sales of 80% this year and after the imposition of a new lockdown in France. FOOTAGE SHOWS MYTHICAL SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY OWNER DAVID DELANNET SPEAKING TO EFE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE BUSINESSS. TRANSLATION: "It is so good to have something positive in this context. And so now we are in lockdown in Paris, I don't know if you are in Spain, BUT everything is closed. During the confinement the normal thing would have been to receive about fifteen, twenty or thirty orders over the internet, now we have more than a hundred newspapers and some day more than a thousand."
