In Paris at the age of 95 years died a well-known collector of literary curiosities Beres, Pierre (Pierre Beres), agency reports France Presse.
In its meeting, which was considered one of the largest in France, Beres managed to concentrate many rare manuscripts of authors such as Stendhal, Proust, Rimbaud and others, as well as hundreds of rare editions of famous writers. Moving away from business in 2005, Beres has sold 12 thousand copies of his collection at various auctions, generated via the book more than 35 million euros.

Beres, who was born in 1913 in Stockholm, began selling books in 17 years, and at 24 opened his own second-hand bookshop on the street in downtown Paris Lafitte. Eventually his collection that he collected throughout life, has become a living history of French literature.
