books and libraries

A remarkably diverse treasury of literary celebrations, Books and Libraries is sure to take pride of place on the shelves of the book-obsessed. Books have long captured the imagination of readers everywhere, commanding their love, earning their veneration. For Emily Dickinson they are frigates that ''take us Lands away''; for Wordsworth they are ''a substantial world, both pure and good''; Alberto Rios calls them ''the deli offerings of civilization itself''. This affection extends to the hallowed gathering places of the written word: libraries where one can best hear "a choir of authors murmuring inside their books," as Billy Collins has it; bookshops, especially second-hand ones, ''too small for the worlds they hold, where words that sing you to sleep, stories that stalk your dreams, open like windows in a wall'' (Gillian Clarke). The poets collected here include Catullus, Horace, T''ao Ch''ien, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Ronsard, Lope de Vega, Shakespeare, Marvell, Blake, Pope and Keats; more recent luminaries include Brecht, Cavafy, Gabriela Mistral, Dylan Thomas, Iku Takenaka, Pablo Neruda, Wislawa Szymborska, Anne Stevenson, Maya Angelou, Derek Walcott, John Burnside and Ian McMillan.

Here are libraries modest, mobile, mystical (Borges of course) and magical (Helen Oyeyemi''s enchanting ''Books and Roses''); public and private, provincial and prestigious. Little that happen in Elizabeth McCracken''s eccentric library did not happen in real life - even down to the murder; and it is rumoured that on 3 June 1997 the British Museum Reading Room really was visited by the ghost of Max Beerbohm''s obscurest of poets, Enoch Soames...Fiction and reality merge in Cortazar''s ''A Continuity of Parks''. Characters step out of their books in Fay Weldon''s ''Lily Bart''s Hat Shop'', while Jasper Fforde''s Jurisfiction operatives enter Wuthering Heights to deliver a Rage-Counselling session. Charles Lamb muses on the annoying book-borrowing habits of Samuel Taylor Coleridge; the teenage Teffi is overawed by Tolstoy; Helene Hanff in Manhattan launches her famous correspondence with a London antiquarian bookshop at 84 Charing Cross Road.Reading, as the Queen informs an appalled private secretary, is ''untidy, discursive and perpetually inviting''. And also, of course, a lot of fun. Sit comfortably, then, and begin.

Jewish Books in North Africa delves into the multifaceted significance of books among North African Jews. From the late Middle Ages to the 19th century, this exploration encompasses the history, manufacture, distribution, and readership of Jewish books. These texts were not mere vessels of knowledge; they were integral to a vibrant cultural tapestry that stretched across North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Author Noam Sienna unveils a vast Sephardic world created by these books. This literary network transcended geographical boundaries, connecting Jewish communities from Fez and Tunis to Salonica, Jerusalem, and Livorno.By examining cultural centers and tracing the journey of these texts, Sienna provides depth to our understanding of a remarkably global and worldly book culture, and its evolving role in the growth of Jewish modernity. While the content of Jewish books has long fascinated scholars, Jewish Books in North Africa shifts our focus to the physical context. These books were not isolated artifacts; they were embedded in cultural networks during a period of religious, political, and cultural transformation. Sienna's work sheds light on the intricate interplay between books and the dynamic world in which they existed.

''There are good publishers and there are great publishers. And then there’s Anthony Cheetham.'' Richard DawkinsIn November 1966, by way of Mexico City, Eton College, Balliol College, Oxford, and a Norwegian raspberry farm, Anthony Cheetham entered the doors of a publishing company for the first time to begin work as a junior editor. Fifty-eight years later he could look back on a career in which he had shaped the landscape of post-war British publishing to a significant degree, having established such prominent and notably successful companies as Century, Orion, Quercus and Head of Zeus, and launched imprints – from Abacus in 1973 to Zephyr in 2017 – that continue to flourish in the third decade of the twenty-first century.Starting with Homer’s Odyssey and ending with works by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and the German historian Ernst Kantorowicz, Anthony Cheetham has selected fifty books as mileposts with which to map the course of his long and productive career. Many of these are titles that he himself published (Dune, The Thorn Birds, A Suitable Boy, Meetings with Remarkable Trees, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo); some are books he wished he had published (Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time); others ...

Fifty Forgotten Books is a very special sort of book about books, by a great bookman and for book-people of all ages and levels of experience. Not quite literary criticism, not quite an autobiography, it is at once a guided tour through the dusty backrooms of long vanished second-hand shops, a love letter to bookshops and bookselling and a browser’s dream wish list of often overlooked and unloved novels, short story collections, poetry collections and works of non-fiction. In these pages, R. B. Russell, publisher of Tartarus Press, doesn’t only discuss the books, but explains what they have meant to him over time, thus forming an oblique, partial memoir of his life as a writer and publisher for over thirty years . . . and a bibliophile for many more. Here is living proof of how literature, books and book collecting can be an intrinsic part of one’s personal, professional and imaginative life, as not only a solitary act, but a social one, resulting in treasured friendships, experiences and loves one might never, otherwise, have enjoyed.
