À propos de cet audio
Susan Orlean, hailed as a “national treasure” by The Washington Post and the acclaimed best-selling author of Rin Tin Tin and The Orchid Thief, reopens the unsolved mystery of the most catastrophic library fire in American history and delivers a dazzling love letter to a beloved institution - our libraries.
On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. As the moments passed, the patrons and staff who had cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual false alarm. As one fireman recounted later, “Once that first stack got going, it was good-bye, Charlie.” The fire was disastrous: It reached 2,000 degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more. Investigators descended on the scene, but more than 30 years later, the mystery remains: Did someone purposefully set fire to the library - and if so, who?
Weaving her lifelong love of books and reading with the fascinating history of libraries and the sometimes eccentric characters who run them, award-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author Susan Orlean presents a mesmerizing and uniquely compelling story as only she can. With her signature wit, insight, compassion, and talent for deep research, she investigates the legendary Los Angeles Public Library fire to showcase the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives.
To truly understand what happens behind the stacks, Orlean visits the different departments of the LAPL, encountering an engaging cast of employees and patrons and experiencing alongside them the victories and struggles they face in today’s climate. She also delves into the evolution of libraries across the country and around the world, from a metropolitan charitable initiative to a cornerstone of national identity. She reflects on her childhood experiences in libraries; studies fire and attempts to burn a copy of a book herself; and reexamines the case of Harry Peak, the blond-haired actor long suspected of setting fire to the library more than 30 years ago. Along the way, she reveals how these buildings provide much more than just books - and that they are needed now more than ever.
Filled with heart, passion, and unforgettable characters, The Library Book is classic Susan Orlean and an homage to a beloved institution that remains a vital part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country and culture.

Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone—even in the vicar—wishes he were dead. And very soon he is—shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

Set over the course of three summers, this novel follows Stephen, a first-generation Londoner born to Ghanaian immigrant parents, brother to Ray, and best friend to Adeline. On the cusp of big life changes, Stephen feels pressured to follow a certain path—a university degree, a move out of home—but when he decides instead to follow his first love, music, his world and family fracture in ways he didn’t foresee. Now Stephen must find a path and peace for himself: a space he can feel beautiful, a space he can feel free.

To enter the country, she must pretend to be her husband’s first wife - a paper wife. On the perilous voyage, Mei Ling takes an orphan girl named Siew under her wing. Dreams of a better life in America give Mei Ling the strength to endure the treacherous journey and detainment on Angel Island. But when she finally reaches San Francisco, she’s met with a surprise. Her husband, Chinn Kai Li, is a houseboy, not the successful merchant he led her to believe.

But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

Like thousands of Aboriginal children in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the colonized world, Xatsu'll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a church-run residential school. These institutions endeavored to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. In this frank and poignant memoir of her years at St. Joseph's Mission, Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school's lasting effects on her and her family and eloquently articulates her own path to healing.

Featured Article: The Ultimate Audiobook Gift Guide for Everyone on Your Holiday List
Take the stress out of holiday shopping by giving the gift of audiobooks. Audiobooks don’t weigh down your tote bag, you don’t need to spend hours in the bookshop, and there’s no need for a bookmark! You can treat a book lover to an Audible membership or give them a perfectly picked new book that is ready for your listening pleasure. On each book's page, select the give as a gift option.
Do you know that, if you can't freeze a book within 48 hrs of it becoming soaked with water, then the book cannot be recovered? And there was a period of time, in the beginning of libraries, when women were forbidden from becoming librarians. Really! Also, today, libraries outnumber retail bookstores 2 to 1. Lots of facts here, for those who are interested in the topic. The author narrates the audiobook and she's excellent.
Fantastic story and narration
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
What an interesting ode to libraries. I believe my expectations may have dampened my enthusiasm for this book however: going in, I was expecting a true crime-like story of the arson investigation into the LA library fire, but instead received a history of the LA Central Library, woven together by the narrative of the Great Fire. With that being said, it is an absolutely wonderful book, and if you had asked me my opinion after 10 chapters, I would have said it was one of my favourites of all time. However, between then and now I have learned more about Charles Lummis than I ever wanted to. A lot of this book seemed to basically be demonstrating the amount of research Susan Orlean did into the LA Library. Even with this, it was still wonderfully written and has resparked my appreciation for libraries, and is absolutely worth a read.
The narration:
Honestly, I have never disliked the narration of an audible book so much before. Generally books read by the author add to the story-- ESPECIALLY ones like this where some of it is from the author's perspective. Definitely not in this case!

after reading the book I did my own research in my own library in my small town and learned we had a fire in the early 1900’s! Listening to this book did respark a love for my library and reflect on the importance of books and the library in my community.
Overall, the book ran flat for me. The story of Harry Peak was not very exciting And the stories throughout the book were not memorable.
Sparkes a love for my library but the book ran flat
