Foreign Language Books

Our foreign language bookshelf
The majority of the books in our bookshop are in English and Spanish, as this is what most people are looking for. However, since the beginning we have tried to maintain a decent collection of foreign language books. I am from Norway, so I know that sometimes when you are travelling, maybe learning Spanish and full of new impressions, it is very comfortable to read a book in your own language.

Recently we purchased a huge amount of used foreign language books, and I dare say we might have the best selection of foreign language books in Nicaragua..! (Please contradict me if you have proof otherwise..) Actually we have so many that we don´t even have the space to display them all. Our foreign language section consists of books in Norwegian (of course), Swedish, Danish, German, Dutch, French and Italian. I also have a box of languages I can´t even identify, but I am pretty sure there is some Russian, Chinese and Polish.


Obviously, books in other languages are quite hard to get in Nicaragua, so the selection is very random, but there are some really good books; some classics, bestsellers, authors from Latin America, and of course most of the swedish books are crime novels.

  1. Hola Buho Books, quisiera saber si tienen libros en español para niños de edad 5 a 15? A friend in the states told me about your book store. I am from Washington State and so excited to visit. I live near Leon with my husband, Nicaraguense. Will be stopping to see you soon. ;)
