An absolutely beautiful book - it is really a synopsis of what is known about the great library at Alexandria. BUT, it is written as an episodic story, based on the real research and is a joy to read. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history.

This book is an academic study of the subject of the Library in Alexandria and also has some information about other ancient libraries. The audience for this book is those who specialize in the study of ancient history.
