Tag #127699 - Interview #78103 (Linka Isaeva)

We had lots of books, secular books, not religious ones. My father used to read a lot, and so did my mother. There were books by Dostoyevsky [5], Chekhov [6], Balzac, from Bulgarian writers, such as Yovkov [7], and other classics. My father mostly used to read on his days off. He had left-wing convictions and preferred the socially-oriented works, which he also advised me to read. We regularly bought the newspapers Mir [Peace] and Zora [Dawn]. We didn't visit libraries; we preferred to buy books.
