Ob vertäfelte Klosterbibliothek, Büchersaal einer altehrwürdigen Universität, berühmte Privatbibliothek oder die private Hausbibliothek, die die eigene Biografie abbildet - Büchersammlungen und Bibliotheken sind Wohlfühlorte, Oasen der Stille und zugleich überbordend vor Ideen, Möglichkeiten, Historien, alternativen Lebenswelten und unentdeckten Dingen. Sie bieten konzentrierter Arbeit, moderner Geisteswissenschaft und analytischem Denken Raum und sind doch auch Orte der Kontemplation, des Träumens und des Erinnerns.Auf dieser Fotoexpedition besucht Massimo Listri einige der ältesten und schönsten Bibliotheken der Welt, um deren architektonische, historische und fantasievolle Wunder zu enthüllen. Durch große Holztüren, über Wendeltreppen und entlang exquisiter, mit Regalen ausgestatteter Korridore führt er uns durch herausragende private, öffentliche, Bildungs- und Klosterbibliotheken, die bis ins Jahr 766 zurückreichen. Diese Institutionen aus dem Mittelalter, dem Klassizismus, dem Barock, dem Rokoko und dem 19. Jahrhundert beherbergen einige der wertvollsten Aufzeichnungen menschlichen Denkens und Handelns, die in Manuskripten, Bänden, Papyrusrollen und Inkunabeln niedergeschrieben und gedruckt sind. In jeder dieser Bibliotheken fangen Listris aussagekräftige Bilder die einzigartige Atmosphäre der Bibliothek ebenso ein wie die wertvollsten Bestände und Gestaltungsdetails.Zu den vorgestellten Bibliotheken gehören die päpstlichen Sammlungen der Vatikanischen Apostolischen Bibliothek und die Trinity College Library in Dublin, in der das Book of Kells und das Book of Durrow aufbewahrt werden. Die sorgfältigen Beschreibungen, die jede vorgestellte Bibliothek begleiten, informieren nicht nur über die erstaunlichen Bestände der Bibliotheken - aus denen einige Highlights abgebildet sind -, sondern auch über ihre oft bewegte, turbulente oder kontroverse Vergangenheit. So zum Beispiel das Franziskanerkloster in Lima, Peru, mit seiner Fülle an archivierten Inquisitionsdokumenten.Nach unserem XXL-Bestseller erscheint jetzt diese kompaktere Ausgabe: ein Augenschmaus für Bücherfreunde, eine Ode an das Lesen und die Schriftkultur und eine kulturhistorische Wallfahrt an die Stätten, die Archiv und Arche unserer Geschichte sind.
