The Library at Night is an emotional, entertaining and erudite immersion, fueled by curiosity, into the appeal of those places we call libraries and man's desire to collect, in this case books. In this work, Alberto Manguel shows us his passionate love for them and for those spaces, mythical in some cases, that have housed them throughout the centuries. He reveals the pleasure of the adventure he feels when he gets lost among shelves packed with books "with the superstitious certainty that a hierarchy of letters or numbers will one day lead me to the promised destination." Those delights that are hidden between the shelves and between the pages, in black on white; places in which to find consolation.
