Books On Fire

Takes you on a journey from ancient Mesopotamia to modern times, showing how the urge to write, read and collect books has always gone hand in hand with the impulse to destroy them. This work also reveals a danger facing libraries with the digitalization of books threatening both the existence of the physical book and the idea of reading for free.
