Average Customer Ratings:
Inspired by the process of creating a library for his fifteenth-century home near the Loire, in France, Alberto Manguel, the acclaimed writer on books and reading, has taken up the subject of libraries. Libraries,” he says, have always seemed to me pleasantly mad places, and for as long as I can remember I’ve been seduced by their labyrinthine logic.” In this personal, deliberately unsystematic, and wide-ranging book, he offers a captivating meditation on the meaning of libraries.
Manguel, a guide of irrepressible enthusiasm, conducts a unique library tour that extends from his childhood bookshelves to the complete” libraries of the Internet, from Ancient Egypt and Greece to the Arab world, from China and Rome to Google. He ponders the doomed library of Alexandria as well as the personal libraries of Charles Dickens, Jorge Luis Borges, and others. He recounts stories of people who have struggled against tyranny to preserve freedom of thoughtthe Polish librarian who smuggled books to safety as the Nazis began their destruction of Jewish libraries; the Afghani bookseller who kept his store open through decades of unrest. Oral memory libraries” kept alive by prisoners, libraries of banned books, the imaginary library of Count Dracula, the library of books never writtenManguel illuminates the mysteries of libraries as no other writer could. With scores of wonderful images throughout, The Library at Night is a fascinating voyage through Manguel’s mind, memory, and vast knowledge of books and civilizations.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A Passion for Libraries -
I loved this book. Manguel thoughtfully explains both the importance of collecting books and the reason that doing so generates such passion. The book may have a particularly strong appeal to those, like me, who are already dedicated builders of a personal library, but his fifteen meditations on the meaning of libraries can be read with profit by anyone who appreciates the comfort, the stimulation, the diversion, or the link with the past that is provided by a good book. The chapters of the book are organized as metaphors, with the library seen as myth, shadow, workshop, imagination, home, and so on. Perhaps my favorite chapter was "The Library as Island," or at least I copied down more passages from that section than any other. Manguel describes better than anyone else I can think of the joyful experience of being the "first discoverer" of a book, or a passage, or a character, even though countless numbers of readers may have been there before us. But then, I also loved what he says about the interplay between architecture and reading in "The Library as Shape." And then there is this, from "The Library as Oblivion": "To hold and transmit memory, to learn through the experience of others, to share knowledge of the world and of ourselves, are some of the powers (and dangers ) that books confer upon us, and the reasons why we both treasure and fear them" (p. 266). Manguel mentions many books from his own library, often very briefly but occasionally at length, but this is never done arrogantly. True, while reading this book you may occasionally feel that you have hardly read a thing of any real importance in a lifetime of reading, but that's neither Manguel's fault nor his intention. He is clearly passionate about libraries in general, and his own in particular, and as he discusses cherished books, stories, memories, and people (especially the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges), we get a glimpse not only into the mind of an immensely erudite man, but into the heart of a thoroughly humane reader as well. I will read more of Manguel's work, and soon. But this is a book I will return to.

The Library at Midnight -
This book is so compelling that even a dedicated reader will be re-energized. Simply a must read for anyone still in love with books and the time we spend in them.
A treat for every bibliophile -
This is a wonderful collection of musings about libraries, both personal and public. I particularly enjoyed the author's description of building his own library, but I also learned a lot about libraries and dealing with books throughout history. Manguel is a cosmopolitan renaissance man and manages to convey a lot of information and personal impressions without artifice. This is a perfect book for every bibliophile.
Roger Moris about "The Library at Night" - 
When I did receive the book I was a little bit disappointed because the back of the book and therefore also the front cover had gotten loose completely. Especially for a paperback this is not a ideal thing. I will try to fix it with some kind of glue.

Rambl'in Man -
I purchased this book in the hopes of generating ideas about how to build a personal library; not just one that consists of books but one of infinite probabilities as it relates to the individual in the present or as I like to think of the present as our "point of power". The middle of the book is the author's best work. As the other reviewers allude to...this book looks at the library from 15 paradigms. My favorite is the "The Library as Mind"; specifically Aby Warburg's library. Warburg created a circular library and constantly rearranged it as his books representing "ideas" were placed in relationship to other books. These relationships would change in Warburg's mind prompting a rearrangement of his books in his personal library. I was grateful for the author's reference to the "Golden Section". Yes this book did its job in opening my mind up to the many approaches to building a library and not just the "form" but the infinite possibilities of what one can be in terms of content. However, unless you have read the books that Alberto Manguel has read, you will miss a great deal of what he has to offer; which is a shame. Many of the books and references crying out for further explanation left me confused. Many of the books and references that I had read or understood he would clarify with further explanations in parenthesis. These confusions would leave me in a library of darkness and confusion (Library at Night). How unfortunate. This book is a great idea but it is an opportunity lost in the malaise of an unfinished puzzle. While I welcome spontaneity and freedom of thought, to me the author came off as nothing more than a Rambl'in Man.
