“A good book is an event in my life.” –  Stendhal (Red and Black, 1830)

Many such events stay restricted to a limited number of people, due to non-accessibility of books or absence of translation.

The French Institute in India, in its mission to make French literature more accessible to people in India, has decided to launch French corners in bookshops all around the subcontinent.
