Want to read Rabindranath Tagore or Vaikom Muhammed Basheer in French? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is possible now, thanks to an initiative by 43-year-old Dominic Shyju. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This resident of Vadathula has opened a one-cupboard library that contains a host of French books from his home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Literature, non-fiction and dictionaries are available for \u201cstudents, teachers and lovers of the French language,\u201d says Dominic, who plans to add more books and shift the library to a more central venue in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The books are from the private collection of Claire Mathey, a French fashion designer who lived in Kochi for nearly four years. When she left during the COVID-19 crisis, she gifted her books to Dominic, who had been a guide in the Fort Kochi area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
