Summary

Susan Orlean: The Book of the Library

On April 29, 1986, the city library in Los Angeles, a magnificent building of American modernism from the golden age of Hollywood and a cultural monument, was devastated by a devastating fire in which almost a million volumes of books perished. which was still feared by the whole world for months afterwards. Susan Orlean, a writer and journalist, decided to devote several years of her life to the research of this real urban disaster, which took away the knowledge and memories of entire generations embedded in the Californian metropolis and the dream of a better life on the Pacific coast. In this amazing book, part investigative thriller and part historical and sociological study, which became an American bestseller in a very short time, Orlean reveals to us the significance and role of every library in the world and raises a monument to all librarians in an accessible and almost touching way.
