AUGENBLICK — Ah Phyllis, tes bottes, je n'aurais pas cru que ces bottes me feraient cet effet.
PHYLLIS — le monde est grand.

je regarde les livres et m'arrête assez vite sur ce titre : The Fear of Books.

"Many of the best books ever written have been destroyed by kings, or committees terrified of the printed word. The Fear of Books examines the violence, destruction, and suppression that have hounded books throughout their history and the fears that lead to such treachery. This marvelous dissection of the antipathies ignited by books identifies three deeply seated fears: fear of insurrection, fear of blasphemy, and fear of pornography. In response of such fears, whole librairies have been burned, drowned, ripped to shreds, or locked away. As Jackson reveals, most books have been feared because someone else loved them
—or thought they would assist love (Jackson devotes special attention to the aphrodisiac power of books and the steps taken to counteract it)."

Dans la librairie, certains livres appellent un soulèvement.
