Commercialism

Three years ago I bought a collection of Maria Callas's, five volumes in a box for just 10 dollars, I was really intersted in hearing her voices at that time so I was amazed to see how cheap the price of her CDs are.

Two years ago we had a cinema called 'Maria Callas -her works and life', so abruptly her works and life were sheded light on by the general public. The one I bought, which is a very good collection of her entire works, disapeared from the book shell in one night, instead one CD for one work started being sold in a CD store. That cost 35 dollars each.

After the storm of her film was over one year ago, I tried visiting the store and checked. I found the same ones I bought three years ago. The price was 10 dollars.
