为了书籍的人

Rate this book
“坚忍”和“刚毅”是纽约公共图书馆门前两座石狮的名字,在美国经济大萧条最严酷的日子里,纽约市市长拉瓜地亚总会在星期日晚间的广播里,用这两个词来鼓舞市民们熬过一个个黎明前的黑夜,迎接明天的曙光。《为了书籍的人——坚忍与刚毅之一》中,无数的藏书家、书商和图书馆人凭着“坚忍”与“刚毅”,在保存书籍文化的传承上成就了不朽的功绩。

作者巴斯贝恩为读者讲述的便是这些“为了书籍的人”,有博德利、贝萨里翁、蒙田、马基雅维里、哥伦布之子斐迪南,还有藏书三万册的翁贝托·埃柯、布克奖得主佩内洛普·菲茨杰拉德……此外,还有多名从事古旧书和珍本书交易的资深书商。他们爱书、藏书、护书,经年不休,矢志不移。对他们来说,书是孩子,是亲密爱人,甚至是生命。
