Booksellers touting their wares amid the heavy traffic in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, have discovered an unusual best-seller.
Adolf Hitler's autobiography manifesto Mein Kampf is selling as well as Dan Brown's latest novel, The Lost Symbol.
The street vendors in Dhaka are found at every major road junction and intersection.
Most of the sellers are young boys and many compete with beggars to attract the attention of motorists.
Last week, Mein Kampf did unusually well because many bought the book to give it away as an Eid present...
Something to think about:
Hitler wrote his autobiography Mein Kampf in 1925 & 1926. The book sold very well. Hitler was able to buy a Mercedes when he was still in prison (according to Wikipedia).
Which of Hitler's ideas made him popular among Germans, and why? Why are Bangladeshis still finding him popular?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I didn't know that hitler made it himself while in prison. I am glad to have this included on my report in class. Your blog is very informative.
