Condición: Nuevo. Bibliophiles, rejoice! In this rapturous photographic journey, Massimo Listri travels to some of the oldest and finest libraries around the world to celebrate their architectural and historical wonder. From medieval to 19th-century institutions, private to monastic collections, this is a cultural-historical pilgrimage to the heart of our halls of learning and the stories they tell. From the mighty halls of ancient Alexandria to the coffered ceilings of the Morgan Library in New York, human beings have had a long, enraptured relationship with libraries. Like no other concept and like no other space, the collection of knowledge, learning, and imagination offers a sense of infinite possibility. It?s the unrivaled realm of discovery, where every faded manuscript or mighty clothbound tome might reveal a provocative new idea, a far-flung fantasy, an ancient belief, a religious conviction, or a whole new way of being in the world. In this new photographic journey, Massimo Listri travels to some of the oldest and finest libraries to reveal their architectural, historical, and imaginative wonder. Through great wooden doors, up spiraling staircases, and along exquisite, shelf-lined corridors, he leads us through outstanding private, public, educational, and monastic libraries, dating as far back as 766. Between them, these medieval, classical, baroque, rococo, and 19th-century institutions hold some of the most precious records of human thought and deed, inscribed and printed in manuscripts, volumes, papyrus scrolls, and incunabula. In each, Listri?s poised images capture the library?s unique atmosphere, as much as their most prized holdings and design details. Featured libraries include the papal collections of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Trinity College Library, home to the Book of Kells and Book of Durrow, and the holdings of the Laurentian Library in Florence, the private library of the powerful House of Medici, designed by Michelangelo. With meticulous descriptions accompanying each featured library, we learn not only of the libraries? astonishing holdings?from which highlights are illustrated?but also of their often lively, turbulent, or controversial pasts. Like Altenburg Abbey in Austria, an outpost of imperial Catholicism repeatedly destroyed during the European wars of religion, or the Franciscan monastery in Lima, Peru, with its horde of archival Inquisition documents. At once a bibliophile beauty pageant, an ode to knowledge, and an evocation of the particular magic of print, Massimo Listri. The World?s Most Beautiful Libraries is above all a cultural-historical pilgrimage to the heart of our halls of learning, to the stories they tell, as much as those they gather in printed matter along polished shelves. ¡Bibliófilos, disfrutad! En este apasionante viaje fotográfico, Massimo Listri se pasea por algunas de las bibliotecas más antiguas e importantes del mundo para descubrir sus secretos arquitectónicos e históricos. Desde instituciones medievales a decimonónicas, pasando por colecciones privadas y monásticas, este libro es un peregrinaje social y cultural al corazón de los centros de nuestro conocimiento y a las historias que guardan. Desde las poderosas salas de la antigua Alejandría hasta los techos artesonados de la Biblioteca Morgan en Nueva York, los seres humanos siempre han mantenido una relación apasionada con las bibliotecas. Como ningún otro concepto o espacio, estos lugares que alojan el saber, el aprendizaje y la imaginación ofrecen una sensación incomparable de posibilidades infinitas. Cada manuscrito ajado, cada tomo colosal encuadernado en tela puede revelar una idea innovadora y provocadora, una fantasía remota, una antigua creencia, una convicción religiosa o una visión completamente nueva del mundo. En este nuevo viaje fotográfico, Massimo Listri recorre algunas de las bibliotecas más antiguas y relevantes del mundo para descubrir sus secretos arquitectónicos, históricos y novelescos. Cruza, en cuatro continentes, majestuosas puertas de madera, sube escaleras de caracol y recorre pasillos exquisitos flanqueados de estanterías que conducen a bibliotecas privadas, públicas y monásticas que se remontan al año 766. Estas instituciones medievales, clásicas, barrocas, rococós y decimonónicas albergan algunos de los documentos más valiosos del pensamiento y las proezas de la Humanidad, grabados e impresos en manuscritos, rollos de papiro e incunables. Las serenas imágenes de Listri retratan tanto la atmósfera única de cada biblioteca como sus posesiones más preciadas y detalles de diseño. El libro cobija las colecciones papales de la Biblioteca Apostólica Vaticana; la Biblioteca del Trinity College de Dublín, que alberga el Libro de Kells y el Libro de Durrow; y los valiosos ejemplares de la Biblioteca Laurenciana de Florencia, la colección privada de los poderosos Médicis, diseñada por Miguel Ángel. Las detalladas descripciones de cada una de ellas nos acercan no sólo a sus tesoros más valiosos sino también a la historia vibrante y, a menudo, turbulenta y polémica de estos refugios de lectura, silencio y contemplación. Como el de la Abadía de Altenburgo, en Austria, una avanzadilla del catolicismo imperial destruida repetidamente durante las guerras religiosas europeas. O el del convento franciscano de Lima, en Perú, que guarda los documentos de la Inquisición. Además de un desfile de belleza bibliófila, una oda al conocimiento y una evocación de la magia del grabado y la impresión, Massimo Listri. The World's Most Beautiful Libraries es, ante todo, un peregrinaje histórico y cultural al corazón de los centros de nuestro conocimiento, a las historias que cuentan sus muros y a las que recopilan, en letra impresa, los tomos guardados en sus pulcras estanterías. …
