Evgeniya from Moscow

About me I am passionate about people. People from all over the world. When they love life and its fluctuations. They are treasures of emotions and soul evolution. Why Moscow? From the first sight, Moscow seems small and obvious.

Moscow Bookstore Moscow

To read - to eat

""Moscow Bookstore" is very cozy and spacious, and reminds me of the good European book shops in a very good way. I adore looking for MY things here..."

I recognized this European-like place immediately as soon as I entered "Moscow" bookstore (only in Europe have I ever gotten a similar "warm" impression). It is very cozy and at the same time spacious, very homely but simultaneously with glut of original stuff. I adore looking for MY things here – never mind if it is a tiny pin or a book with an ingenious cover.

It doesn't look like any other Russian bookstore. No trashy pop-stuff here. A luminous huge clean hall bookstore with book stacks and low tables, book shelves along which I like to cruise and a cafe inside with a range of Dostoevsky-view windows along one of the walls. It is a perfect place to have a rest with a book in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

Besides books and the café there are piles of unique stationery and bijous which I like to examine very much. For example "The Little Prince" bijou collection or the Russian poets notebooks line.

I haven't attended any meetings with writers though they are organized here. But I drank hot tasty cappuccino sitting at a small wooden table (snacks are overpriced here) and was completely happy.
