Burning the Books

Burning the Books is a fascinating, timely, and thought-provoking book that delves into the destruction and preservation of knowledge throughout history. From the infamous book burnings in 1933 to attacks on libraries and archives in the modern era, Richard Ovenden, director of the Bodleian Library, highlights the crucial role of physical libraries in society.

Through the preservation of literature and important documents such as Magna Carta, libraries support the rule of law and the rights of citizens. However, in our digital age, the knowledge held by libraries is facing unprecedented attacks. This book not only provides a powerful history but also serves as a manifesto for the importance of preserving and rescuing knowledge for the survival of civilization. It is a human story filled with adventurers, archaeologists, poets, and librarians, all fighting to protect our shared knowledge and the valuable lessons it holds.
