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...
评分書籍被視為靈魂的棲息地,書齋尚可作為抵達靈魂之所及的時光隧道。尤其是在夜裡,即是讀書人思維最爽朗的時刻,讓靈魂去周遊整個世界的任何角落,外在的其他一切聲響立刻變得模糊不清,在時間無形的疆域里,整個世界也隨着自己的想象重新堆砌。而在這所有的書籍面前,我...

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...
