Libraries destruction

Fernando Báez has published in Destino Publishing the work Historia Universal de la destrucción de libros: de las tablillas sumerias a la guerra de Irak, in which he has studied how men have eliminated libraries and destroyed books from the very beginning of History.
The work is divided in three parts: The old world, from the age of Bizantium to the 19th century, and the 20th century and the beginning of the 21th century. Likewise, all cultures and places are taken into account, reason why this work is a unique means to know facts related to the obssession of men in erasing culture. Among many other outlines published from this book, the most remarkable is the one appeared in El Cultural magazine in March in 2004. This work has also a big bibliography about the history of books and libraries.
