In the near future, “Zangak” publishing house will firstly publish the Armenian translation of “Harry Potter. Philosopher’s Stone” book. This was told to the journalists by publishing Director Emin Mkrtchyan at “Nyut” club today. In his words, the book was awaited; the readers are regularly calling and asking when it will finally be released.
The Director of “Zangak” characterized the book as “neatly translated.” He also informed that once the book was published illegally, “After long negotiations with the agents, finally we received the right to publish it. We did it with difficulty as our literary market is not considered to be reliable. Seeing our work, the trust was restored and we came to an agreement.” Aravot.am asked Mkrtchyan which books are the bestsellers. “The demand for children’s books is great, to some extent, fiction-translated books are also in demand. This is due to the fact that publishing houses are firstly issuing classical works. And the books that are popular in the international arena are in demanded irrespective of their fiction value,” he said.
