Works executed by Kenji Goto militants in Japan beat sales records Automatic translate
TOKYO. In just a couple of days, all the books of the Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, who tragically died at the hands of the militants of the Islamic State, disappeared from the shelves of bookstores. At Amazon.co.jp, an online bookstore, all of his books are labeled “Best Seller # 1” and are also sold out. Chobunsha, the publisher of four works by the journalist, announced the re-publication of his books due to the large number of orders from bookstores.
In his works, Kenji Goto always talked about the lives of children in war. So, in one of the works “If I Could Go to School,” the author tells of a little girl from Afghanistan who dreams of going to school. And in his book “Prayers of Rwanda,” Goto talks about a simple family that was able to survive the civil war in a small African state. From the work “Better Peace than Diamonds”, young readers learn about the difficult fate of children who, by the will of fate, were forced to take part in military conflicts in Africa. A number of children’s publishers in Japan plans to release an additional circulation of all works by Kenji Goto. One of the leaders of a major publishing house said that their main duty is to continue publishing the journalist’s books. “This will help convey to readers the thought that Kenji Goto wanted to convey to them,” he said.
Recall that on January 31, a video appeared on the Internet of the killing of Kenji Goto, taken hostage by militants of the Islamic State. On the record of the terrible execution, a masked man in English turned to the Japanese, saying: "You, like your allies, must understand one thing - we are greedy for your blood."
