如果让你休闲时选择去一个地方,并只有一天时间,你会选择去哪里呢?博物馆、游乐园或购物中心?本文的作者从大学时代便与图书馆结缘,直至后来在法国教书再到津巴布韦工作。每到一个地方,她总会被当地图书馆所吸引,图书馆就像她的心灵归宿。她人生中每个故事都是围绕图书馆展开,冥冥之中图书馆就像一盏指路灯引领她走过丰富而有意义的人生路。
I am sitting in a car in the Swedish capital of Stockholm with my baby sister and her husband of four days.
“Where do you want to go?” Edie asks.
It’s drizzling. This beautiful city, where sailboats and cruise ships plow past at what seems to be an arm’s length away, is mine for just one more day. Then I must head back to Africa.
“Where is the library?”
If Johan is surprised, he doesn’t show it. “Not far. It’s a great place. It was designed by a famous architect, Gunnar Asplund.”
Johan stops outside a building with a chunky central tower. It is ocher red, making me think suddenly of the rich clay soil back in Zimbabwe.
We slip inside. My first impression is of light and space. People tap away at small workstations. The books, shelf after glorious shelf of them, line the walls, like upended LEGO bricks.
Edie, my fashion-designer sister whom I see so rarely, is by my side.
