Books On Fire : The Destruction Of Libraries Throughout History

Attribution
Lucien X. Polastron ; translated by Jon E. Graham
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, Inner Traditions, 2007
Links
Description
Books on Fire traces the history of this perpetual destruction from the burning of the great library of Alexandria (on three separate occasions) and the libraries of the Chinese Qing Dynasty to more modern catastrophic losses such as those witnessed in Nazi-occupied Europe and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His investigation also reveals a new danger facing libraries today with the digitalization of books threatening both the existence of the physical paper book and the very idea of reading for free.
