it was amazing

An absolutely fabulous book, that opened my eyes to the world of those who attempt to kill a civilization by trying to erase history, literature, and cultural memory.

The book is filled with stories of the permanence of words imprinted on a brain even when the physical book is burned or the monument is shattered.

Very apropos for today.
