La memoria nasce con la civiltà, e così la sua conservazione. Non a caso la storia narrata in questo audiolibro parte da Assurbanipal e arriva fino a oggi. L'atto del conservare non è mai neutrale: già il re assiro faceva della sua biblioteca un segno e uno strumento di potere. Ancora meno neutrale è l'atto del distruggere: i roghi nazisti di libri ne sono l'esempio più tristemente celebre. Ma c'è un altro modo, meno plateale, per cancellare un patrimonio: non prendersene adeguata cura.
