The most beautiful libraries in the world

Let yourself be taken on a world tour of the most breathtaking libraries!

From Sweden to Australia, via Egypt, India and Colombia, this book celebrates the oldest and most grandiose of these sanctuaries, but also their youngest and smallest heirs.
First, by reflecting on the essential role of these memory enclosures. Because libraries are much more than a simple pile of various books! They constitute the archives of our knowledge, and are full of infinite sources of inspiration. They are places of work, study and meeting. Finally, they are a symbol and the living testimony of the societies that built them.
This book also looks at the different architectural audacities to which they gave rise: from baroque or rococo palaces to micro-libraries made from recycled plastic, and the most improbable nuggets that exist in between!

A book that will delight literature lovers as much as architecture lovers!
