Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Wolfson History Prize FinalistA New Statesman Book of the YearA Sunday Times Book of the YearTimely and authoritativeI enjoyed it immensely.Philip PullmanIf you care about books, and if you believe we must all stand up to the destruction of knowledge and cultural heritage, this is a brilliant readboth powerful and prescient.Elif ShafakLibraries have been attacked since ancient times but they have been especially threatened in the modern era, through war as well as willful neglect. Burning the Books describes the deliberate destruction of the knowledge safeguarded in libraries from Alexandria to Sarajevo, from smashed Assyrian tablets to the torching of the Library of Congress. The director of the world-famous Bodleian Libraries, Richard Ovenden, captures the political, religious, and cultural motivations behind these acts. He also shines a light on the librarians and archivists preserving history and memory, often risking their lives in the process.More than simply repositories for knowledge, libraries support the rule of law and inspire and inform citizens. Ovenden reminds us of their social and political importance, challenging us to protect and support these essential institutions.Wonderfulfull of good stories and burning with passion.Sunday TimesThe sound of a warning vibrates through this book.The GuardianEssential reading for anyone concerned with libraries and what Ovenden outlines as their role in the support of democracy, the rule of law and open society.Wall Street JournalOvenden emphasizes that attacks on books, archives, and recorded information are the usual practice of authoritarian regimes.Michael Dirda, Washington Post Libraries preserve the knowledge and ideas on which rights depend; no wonder they are so often attacked. Richard Ovenden tells the history of this deliberate destruction of knowledgefrom library burnings to digital attacks and contemporary underfundingand makes a passionate plea for the importance of these threatened institutions.
