If music softens manners, reading has soothing virtues. What could be better in a period of confinement than to escape intellectually? To help you, the Furet du Nord bookstore offers more than 5,000 digital books.

In this time of confinement, and therefore of stress, we seek to free our mind with all kinds of occupations: music, yoga, sport (not obvious in a limited space), tea or coffee. Yet there is one activity that surpasses all others to occupy the brain. It's just about reading. A 2009 study by the University of Sussex and published in the British daily The Telegraph (paid article) demonstrated that reading is the most effective way to combat stress. Even the daily walk can do nothing against the force of the words and the emotion provided.

So only one solution, you have to read. The “luck” of this confinement – compared to a war confinement – is to have at your disposal many supports to practice reading: paper books, e-readers, tablets, computers, mobile apps and, above all, providers.

This is the case of Furet du Nord, a bookstore in Lille and the largest in Europe, which has since become a chain. Since his website, more than 5,000 digital books can be downloaded for free. No need for e-readers, although this is ideal, but a smartphone, computer, laptop or tablet will also do the trick.

On the menu: novels, thrillers and other detective stories, romantic, sentimental, science fiction and fantasy. We also find news or extracts signed Franck Thilliez, Stephen King, Françoise Bourdin… Of course, the classics are there with Hugo, Zola, Leroux, Homère, Balzac, Lovecraft, Verne, Doyle and others.

There are also “Flash offers” baptized #ReadHouse where 90 eBooks, including new ones, are offered for a limited time, that is until April 5.
