Description

Hardcover book with Spanish text. 352 pages. The destruction of books has been a recurring theme throughout history, from the infamous book burning of "no alemanes" and Jews in 1933 to the more recent attacks on libraries. In "Quemar libros", Richard Ovenden explores this phenomenon over 3000 years, tracing its impact on knowledge preservation and the fight against censorship. From the ancient Library of Alexandria to modern-day debates about digital literacy, Ovenden examines how libraries have played a crucial role in safeguarding democracy and human rights. This book is both a comprehensive history of civilization and a powerful argument for the importance of physical libraries in an increasingly digital world.
