A “colossal” sum. According The Sunday newspaper, the Albin Michel editions have won the bid for the publication of the memoirs of Angela Merkel. Ten months after his departure from power, the memories of the former German Chancellor (2005-2021) fueled lust. The “rumor” relayed by The JDD reports a check for “nearly 400,000 euros” for the purchase of the rights to the writings of Angela Merkel.
A significant sum in this period of inflation in Germany. Even if it remains far from the jackpot hit by the Obama spouses: the Penguin Random House publishing house had acquired the worldwide rights for their books for the astronomical price of 60 million dollars.
