The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu
Author: Joshua Hammer
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476777438
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
**New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice** To save ancient Arabic texts from Al Qaeda, a band of librarians pulls off a brazen heist worthy of Ocean’s Eleven in this “fast-paced narrative that is…part intellectual history, part geopolitical tract, and part out-and-out thriller” (The Washington Post) from the author of The Falcon Thief. In the 1980s, a young adventurer and collector for a government library, Abdel Kader Haidara, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that were crumbling in the trunks of desert shepherds. His goal: preserve this crucial part of the world’s patrimony in a gorgeous library. But then Al Qaeda showed up at the door. “Part history, part scholarly adventure story, and part journalist survey…Joshua Hammer writes with verve and expertise” (The New York Times Book Review) about how Haidara, a mild-mannered archivist from the legendary city of Timbuktu, became one of the world’s greatest smugglers by saving the texts from sure destruction. With bravery and patience, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350,000 volumes out of the city to the safety of southern Mali. His heroic heist “has all the elements of a classic adventure novel” (The Seattle Times), and is a reminder that ordinary citizens often do the most to protect the beauty of their culture. His the story is one of a man who, through extreme circumstances, discovered his higher calling and was changed forever by it.

Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489738045
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Mankind has become increasingly bound by the chains of spiritual impotency and material greed. A book containing the power to break those chains reveals itself during a span of several generations to four young people, each chosen to be its librarian. This book leads each of the librarians on their own journey to spread its seven pillars of knowledge. Giants must be vanquished, unknown spiritual beings defeated in combat, powerful magicians exposed, and cities built in desolate deserts. The burden of carrying the book weighs heavily on its librarians, forcing them to face the greatest enemy of all—themselves. They struggle with doubts, fears, and feelings of unworthiness which constantly arise in their hearts, seeking to deceive them into thinking the battle is too difficult and that they must quit the journey.
