Story
Opening with the notorious bonfires of 'un-German' and Jewish literature in 1933 that offered such a clear signal of Nazi intentions, Burning the Books takes us on a 3,000-year journey through the destruction of knowledge and the fight against all the odds to preserve it. Richard Ovenden, director of the world-famous Bodleian Library, explains how attacks on libraries and archives have been a feature of history since ancient times but have increased in frequency and intensity during the modern era.

Story
La memoria nasce con la civiltà, e così la sua conservazione. Non a caso la storia narrata in questo audiolibro parte da Assurbanipal e arriva fino a oggi. L'atto del conservare non è mai neutrale: già il re assiro faceva della sua biblioteca un segno e uno strumento di potere. Ancora meno neutrale è l'atto del distruggere: i roghi nazisti di libri ne sono l'esempio più tristemente celebre. Ma c'è un altro modo, meno plateale, per cancellare un patrimonio: non prendersene adeguata cura.
