BerlÃn, 1933. A raÃz del éxito de su primera novela, la escritora americana Althea James es invitada por el mismÃsimo Joseph Goebbels a participar en un programa de intercambio cultural en Alemania. Allà conoce a una hermosa mujer que le promete enseñarle el autentico BerlÃn, y no tarda en sumarse a un grupo de resistentes que la llevan a cuestionarse todo lo que sabe sobre sus anfitriones... y sobre sà misma. ParÃs, 1936. Aunque llegó a la Ciudad de la Luz huyendo de BerlÃn, Hannah Brecht pronto descubre que no está en un refugio contra el antisemitismo que pensaba haber dejado atrás. Desconsolada y atormentada por el papel que desempeñó en la traición que destruyó a su familia, Hannah se zambulle en su trabajo en la Biblioteca Alemana de Libros Quemados. Nueva York, 1944. Desde que su marido Edward murió luchando contra los nazis, Vivian Childs ha estado librando su propia batalla: impidiendo los intentos de un poderoso senador de censurar las Ediciones de las Fuerzas Armadas, libros de bolsillo que se envÃan a millones de soldados destinados en el extranjero. Viv Sabe hasta qué punto son importantes para los soldados gracias a las cartas que recibe..., incluida la última que le escribió su marido. Cuando Viv, sin saberlo, hace que su lucha contra la censura colisione con los secretos de pasado reciente, los destinos de estas tres mujeres confluyen..., y las tres cambiarán para siempre. (  ) Biblioteca-LPAeHijos | Apr 5, 2024 | Like many books of the genre, the setting for this one jumps around to the usual locations - Berlin, Paris and New York. Then come our cast of main characters: Vivian, Althea, Hannah and Dev. In short, I spent the first half of the story just keeping all the women apart, each to her respective geographical location and her circumstance in mind. It was confusing to me and took too much effort to truly be an enjoyable read at first. Towards the end, once I had everyone straight and in context, I did finally feel as though I was engaging with the plot. Books do play a role here, but not the burned books alluded to in the title. And don't get excited about the library either, it is sadly underutilized as a locale, having been dangled in front of us as it was. Instead, many of the books alluded to in the plot are the books banned from being sent out to American service members and the efforts to have that rectified. Yes, it all seemingly comes together in the whirlwind of war. So, did I enjoy this one? I felt decidedly apathetic towards Althea and Hannah. Vivian drew me in somewhat, her stubborn American temperment being the draw, and I wanted to see her get her way with Mr Taft. That said, I could have read an entire book solely about Dev, daring and flamboyant as she was, relegated to being the lesser used chess piece on the board. A pity. (  ) VictoriaPL | Dec 26, 2023 | The Armed Services Editions is an invaluable organization that distributes portable paperbacks to United States soldiers overseas. However, legislature is attempting to censor these books out of fear for promoting radical thinking. Vivian Childs is planning a rally to demonstrate the destruction censorship recently caused and how it predicts the actions of present day, 1944. Speakers Althea James and Hannah Brecht reflect on their experiences living in the Reich’s regime before their debut. The Librarian of Burned Books follows three strong women whose aspirations span Berlin, Paris, and New York City during WWII to convey the importance of books. Brianna Labuskes wrote a book that draws many parallels between modern society and book censorship; topics that reach the hearts of many booklovers. ( ) RandyMorgan | Sep 14, 2023 | Interesting juxtaposing of book burning under Hitler and Congressional debate to limit the Armed Services Editions program sending books to American soldiers. Lots about books. Several enduring romances and a spy thrown in for good measure. Feel good ending. ( ) deslivres5 | May 27, 2023 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Berlin 1933. Following the success of her debut novel, American writer Althea James receives an invitation from Joseph Goebbels himself to participate in a culture exchange program in Germany. For a girl from a small town in Maine, 1933 Berlin seems to be sparklingly cosmopolitan, blossoming in the midst of a great change with the charismatic new chancellor at the helm. Then Althea meets a beautiful woman who promises to show her the real Berlin, and soon she's drawn into a group of resisters who make her question everything she knows about her hostsâ??and herself. Paris 1936. She may have escaped Berlin for Paris, but Hannah Brecht discovers the City of Light is no refuge from the anti-Semitism and Nazi sympathizers she thought she left behind. Heartbroken and tormented by the role she played in the betrayal that destroyed her family, Hannah throws herself into her work at the German Library of Burned Books. Through the quiet power of books, she believes she can help counter the tide of fascism she sees rising across Europe and atone for her mistakes.
