Which bookstores in Shanghai sell foreign literature or magazines?

Shanghai Bookstore Zhitaofen Xiwen Bookstore

Taofen Western Bookstore, located at the intersection of Changle Road and South Shaanxi Province, has passed by many times. It is said that every time I pass by, I want to go in again next time. Until recently, on the eve of a party with friends, the door of this bookstore opened in the drizzle of late autumn in Shanghai.

Every bookstore has its own personality and taste. When you walk into this bookstore, your feelings are different from those when you walk into Shanghai Bookstore, Popular Bookstore, Sanlian Bookstore, and even monsoon Bookstore with strong literary flavor. In addition to the differences in book selection, many of these differences are also due to the layout, layout and decoration style of the store. I have to say that Tao Fen's taste in western languages in this respect is well-organized and elegant among the old Koehler in Shanghai.

The main business of the store is to sell foreign books and magazines, imported books, mostly popular novels and bestsellers, and there are also many whole rows of cookbooks and books on interior decoration and art design. On the second floor, there are mainly books in small languages, mostly novels in French and German and photo albums reflecting the old Shanghai period. Of course, most imported books are very expensive, and one book is often around 100 yuan. Nowadays, young people will say, the Internet is so developed, which one I took a fancy to and then went online to find it. This is indeed possible. However, the network with poisonous demons can never replace the pleasure of shopping, just as WeChat can never replace the pleasure of face-to-face communication. It is the charm of subtle eyes and expressions.

It's like an agreement between bookstore owners. In such a prime location, the store actually set aside a large area on the first floor for the book lovers to drink coffee and cold drinks, enough to put six square tables, which shows the intention. Then I thought about it carefully. In fact, reading and chatting are the same. They are all connected with people from another world. There are various smells around countless people, and I am looking for a world with similar smells in the vast starry sky. Smell a world that smells, gently pat the glass film covering the outside of that world, poke a small hole in it, and look inside curiously. If you live in the Himalayas, the Seine River in Paris and penthouses; On the upper east side. Or a man with a dark belly pacing with all kinds of fierce women, a wild man who is very eager for women to drink, and a son and grandson who wants to start all over again, then I may not hesitate to tear up those films and tear them up hard, and then redefine it with my own feelings and judgments.

None of us are born knowing what is right and wrong. What we are looking for now is not the thing itself, but our vision and perspective. We think a person is valuable, and she is only valuable in your eyes. The subtlety that Shanghai women are best at is that they quietly hide needles between mountains and rivers. They are gentle in appearance, wheezing in voice, kind in heart and sincere in feelings, but after all, there is always a subtle taste between you and me, that is, you can chop up peppers and sprinkle them in soup, but people with insensitive taste buds on the tip of the tongue will never notice. And people who can smell the meaning between the lines are absolutely delicate and sensitive. Are there more women or men in this category? In fact, there are still many men, most of whom are in love, and many men are too meticulous to imagine. They can have all the feelings and experiences that women can have, and they are better at stepping on the brakes.

I find that I am a little far from the idea of introducing bookstores, but this is exactly what I want to share with my friends, because in communication with others, I often find that others' feelings, ideas and emphases are different from ours. Dear, we should be grateful for so many differences, because no one's life can resonate with others forever. This life is a journey of my own, and everything I encounter on the road can only be an experience.
