This prizewinning book traces the tumultuous story of the world’s great libraries from the burning of the great library of Alexandria (three times) and the libraries of the Chinese Qing Dynasty to more modern catastrophic losses such as those in Nazi-occupied Europe and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This book examines the causes for these disasters, the treasures that have been lost, and where the surviving books, if any, have ended up. It also reveals a new danger facing libraries today with the digitization of books threatening both the existence of the physical book. The promise of an absolute library offered by the computer may well turn out to equal the worst nightmares of Ray Bradbury, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell.
