If you have been to Behemot Bookshop, you know that we do not have bar-code reader and similarly I promise we shall never have shopping baskets here. This is about books and about people. About people that love books and about books that love people. All in all, about love.
There are about 2000 carefully selected titles on our shelves. We try to choose the most important and the most beautiful books in a rather wide range of subjects. However, if you are looking for a book that is not on our shelves, we can order it for you at no extra charge. As long as it is in English, we can get it for you.

There should be no doubt: our bookshop is named only and solely after the most beautiful, notoriously famous, cult novel by Mikhail Bulgakov.

This is not really a blog. Here we link to interesting articles, interviews, art. As on our shelves, some writers we follow closely, some we ignore. We are never first to link. Some links might be months old. Nevertheless, they all mirror Behemot's unique curiosity.
