French literature books -good deal

Payot (which is a stop away on the 16 tram on the way to Uni Mail or CERN) is having this deal of 4 folio books for 10 Francs. It’s an amazing deal, I already got 4 books. So if you want to read French, or if you are in love with Russian translated literature like I am, I think that you seriously need to check it out!
