At a time when we have the feeling that books are no longer seen as the source of wisdom that they really are, unique and irreplaceable life companions, we want to leave you with the words of someone who so masterfully defines them:

A book is an enigma like the pyramids of Egypt.
It’s a laboratory under combustion.
An emergency exit.
A relief club for castaways.
An intercom between silences.
A flamethrower.
A forest shelter.
One more rail ahead.
