Inspired by the process of creating a library for his fifteenth-century home near the Loire in France, Alberto Manguel, the acclaimed writer on books and reading, has taken up the subject of libraries. 'Libraries', he says, 'have always seemed to me pleasantly mad places, and for as long as I can remember I've been seduced by their labyrinthine logic'. In this personal, deliberately unsystematic, and wide-ranging book, he offers a captivating meditation on the meaning of libraries. "Manguel", a guide of irrepressible enthusiasm, conducts a unique library tour that extends from his childhood bookshelves to the 'complete' libraries of the Internet, from Ancient Egypt and Greece to the Arab world, from China and Rome to Google.He ponders the doomed library of Alexandria as well as the personal libraries of Charles Dickens, Jorge Luis Borges, and others. He recounts stories of people who have struggled against tyranny to preserve freedom of thought - the Polish librarian who smuggled books to safety as the Nazis began their destruction of Jewish libraries; the Afghani bookseller who kept his store open through decades of unrest. Oral 'memory libraries' kept alive by prisoners, libraries of banned books, the imaginary library of Count Dracula, the library of books never written - Manguel illuminates the mysteries of libraries as no other writer could. With scores of wonderful images throughout, "The Library at Night" is a fascinating voyage through Manguel's mind, memory, and vast knowledge of books and civilizations.

从我开始拥有第一个完全属于自己的书架开始,十余年的私人阅读史,并没有一个正规的书斋,我的卧房即是书房,除了那些粗糙的竹木书架,我的床上、桌上始终都是书籍的领地。他们的混乱成就了我封闭的世界,书籍自成一体的宇宙,更让一颗粗糙的心灵恍如不系之舟。 在大学就读的...
评分读这本书,惊讶于作者的专业,对图书馆研究的专业,作者对世界各地大大小小各种形态的图书馆和藏书楼做了深入的研究并且加入了自己的评论。 书名叫《夜晚的书斋》,很容易让人联想到一个冬日的夜晚,书斋主人在一个温暖的屋子里坐拥书的怀抱的情景。书中有这么一段描写: 我记...
评分近日恢复了图书馆之旅。十月之初的夜,满是秋的凉爽,清淡的桂花香若隐若现、似有还无,甚是怡人;骑车穿行在被两侧梧桐树遮蔽了大半夜空的街道,听着音乐,想着心思,心里有着难得的平静,一点点的哀而不伤,一些些的幽而不怨;仿佛就这样一直骑到天之涯、海之角、时间的尽头...

评分八月火热,众生颠倒疯狂,与我而言倒是难得的静谧,无稿约之催赶,读书散淡而惬意。本是随意翻书,没想到随意之中,主题渐闲。先是《藏书的乐趣》,主打收藏经营图书的经验之谈;《图书馆之恋》,曲折隐约的与图书之恋令人刻骨铭心;《纸房子》,博尔赫斯式的口气讲述一个爱书...
