Summary
"*The Library at Night* is a book of variations on the theme of libraries. The title of each of the fifteen chapters promises to reveal: 'The Library as ...'; the as then being everything from 'Myth' to 'Shape' to 'Survival' to 'Identity'.
The very bookish Manguel anchors *The Library at Night* in his own experience -- and his own library, which he built in France around the remnants of a fifteenth-century barn and began to fill with his (tens of thousands of) books in the summer of 2003. From the design of the structure to the placement and order of the books, as well as what kind of books they are, Manguel repeatedly finds points to start his ruminations in (and eventually return them to) his own library and experiences, but his great book-knowledge leads him far afield, too. So *The Library at Night* is a pleasant journey across times and places, Manguel exploring the history of book-collections and repositories and the people behind them, and the books in them." - [source][1]
