New ground broken in CIS
 Media Prima has launchedits first authorised biography on a leader hailing from the former Soviet Union.
President Ilham Aliyev is a former academic and businessman, who became President of the oil and gas rich state of Azerbaijan in 2003. The nation had won plaudits for its democratic transition, job creation and economic development, and weathered the world economic crisis well.
A 110,000 word, 520-page hardback is now on sale, ahead of a worldwide release in the spring on 2012 when a print run of 100,000 paperbacks will ensure high visibility for the book.
“We have looked abroad for interesting subjects, producing biographies on the Presidents of Sri Lanka and the Maldives for example. The President of Azerbaijan is a fine example, a brilliant story that makes a superb subject,” said a spokesman for Media Prima.
The company currently has five new biographies in the works, most scheduled for release in 2012. |
