Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein Buch ist ein zerbrechliches Geschöpf, es leidet unter der Zeitverschwendung, es fürchtet vor Nagetieren, den Elementen und unbeholfenen Händen. So schützt der Bibliothekar die Bücher nicht nur vor der Menschheit, sondern auch vor der Natur und widmet sein Leben diesem Krieg mit den Kräften des Vergessens.
