Herb Square Library - Éric de Cermil

That the book, the true book, shakes you from the inside. Awakens in you a kingdom of desires, and a people of possibilities, and an army of "Why not?" rebellious. Cross the threshold of the library in the Herbs Square, and surrender to the magic of a place that sings with books, readers, and libraries. Enter this place filled with warmth, light, sharing, and go on a journey to the world of books where "every reading is a travel and love" and every library is "a place that creates bonds." Natalie, a former teacher who achieved her dream and became a bookseller in a small village, tells us her story and her customers' stories: their love and friendships, family reconciliations, doubts, life reflections, and spiritual aspirations... Natalie narrates, sometimes as a secret keeper and sometimes as a guide, the paths of these different characters, and reveals her literary culture, which makes us get to know the titles she loves and remember the importance of books and the great joy they bring us. This beautiful novel takes us to the spaciousness of reconciliation with oneself and others, for it is not only a sincere praise for reading, but a praise for life itself, and the best proof, if proof is needed, that books inspire us and make our lives more enjoyable, and deepen our understanding of people. So, tell me what you read, and I will tell you who you are... Number of pages: 272 Year of publication: 2019 Publisher: Arab Cultural Center
