In the first week alone, more than 200 thousand copies of the book by German Chancellor Angela Merkel were sold. This is reported by the publication DW, reports UNN.

The book of the German ex-chancellor "Freedom" (Freiheit) went on sale on November 26. And immediately, the interest in Angela Merkel's memoirs among the general public was extremely high (...). In the first week alone, more than 200 thousand copies were sold, according to the weekly Der Spiegel on Thursday, December 5. In general, according to preliminary results of the years, other books are among the leaders in sales in the German Book Market,

- the publication writes.

It is noted that Angela Merkel wrote 736 pages of her book together with Beate Baumann, who accompanied Merkel on her journey for many years. Not only the volume, but also the price of the book is significant. One copy costs 42 euros, which is quite expensive for the German Book Market.

I'm very disappointed. Merkel clearly lacks self-criticism. I would also like more stories about her fellow politicians, how she saw them-in detail. Interesting, but not exciting. In addition, it is too expensive - 42 euros,
