The Library at Night

Sinopse

"The Library at Night - a series of essays on what might call the Platonic idea of a library - reveals some of its author's intellectual range and magpie learning... [It] is an elegant volume, in both its design and its text... Alberto Manguel has brought out a richly enjoyable book, absolutely enthralling for anyone who loves to read and an inspiration for anybody who has ever dreamed of building a library of his or her own." - Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World
