Oldest Libraries In The World 소설 & 이야기

“Have you seen the library of congress?” I asked. “I haven’t.” “It’s the largest library in the world. But I guess this place is larger.” The ceiling of the library was so high that it almost reached my pride. Hanging from it were five gigantic, ancient chandeliers with the brightest light I’ve ever seen. Its diamonds glitter as light touches it.

Chapter 6 When we had retrieved the hefty book, we headed back to Max's little house on the edge of Naples. The book was incredibly thick and the pages as thin as Max's chance of success in life. The writing was minuscule making it hard to read the thousands of tiny names and dates of birth on each page. The first 500 hundred pages were hardly legible, although someone had carefully gone over the ink so that it hadn't faded. Hecate Chiaramonti was on the first page, her birth date 1076 BC. That's 3096 years ago making it by far the oldest book in existence.

Lucianne’s eyes snapped back to Xandar’s elated lilac ones as she exclaimed in a whisper, “This is La Librairie, isn’t it? The largest bookstore in the Kingdom!” Xandar’s eyes were also shining at the sight of Lucianne’s excitement, “It is. You’ve clearly heard of it.” Her eyes continued to scan the place while she explained, “I’ve read about it and seen pictures of it in the news. But the sight is still breathtaking.” She looked at the ceiling which was said to contain engravings of reputable authors of the past. She then looked at the pillars which had the most famous quotes of each century. She then uttered, “The twenty-eight-floor building which holds every book known to Lycans, werewolv

He trudges me along and the chamber starts to reveal itself as we step fully inside, and my breath snatches away all over again. Shelves carved with ancient wood towers upward with thousands—no, ten thousands of books with cracked spines and parchments that look like they are over a century old fill up every inch. The air is thick with the musk of dust and of aged books, every breath I take in feels like I'm inhaling history. “What is this place?” I whisper, my lip part in awe. “This is the pack's library,” he answers stepping in front of me. “It contains history books about werewolves and I brought you here to see if we can find anything about your wolf.”

Kyra found the huge library easily enough with the help of an Omega. The smell of old books and dust greeted her the moment she entered the library. It took Kyra ten minutes to walk from one end to the other. The labyrinth of books with thick worn out spines are neatly arranged on the wooden shelves. Rows and rows of books are placed, one row older than the other. Centuries old history of the Lycan's and the Werewolfs was proudly displayed in one section. Another section belongs to their medical knowledge. Moon goddess, Vampires, golden wolves and so on. You name it this library has it.

And Aria—mother, Luna, flamewalker—could only cling to the vow Xander had made on the mountain: We face it together. Or we fall apart. She was just returning from the council hall when she saw them—Rowan and Mira—standing in front of the Library of the Ancients. The oldest building in Moonrise. It squatted at the edge of the village like a forgotten sentinel—half-buried in stone, its roof moss-covered, the runes carved deep into its door nearly swallowed by time. Most wolves passed it with reverence. Few ever entered. Within its walls slept the bones of knowledge—scrolls that whispered and books that wept when touched.

Callum growled. “Sure I do,” Zane said breezily. “I just did.” We reached a massive set of double doors, and Zane threw them open with unnecessary flair. “Welcome,” he announced, “to THE Library. Second the the biggest library in the world, just after the Alpha King’s castle. But, we should find what we need here!” Library was an understatement. It was a cathedral of books, floor-to-ceiling shelves, spiral staircases curling upward, sunlight pouring through tall windows.

Heather's POV: Flashback: a few weeks ago... When I first arrived at the Library of Alphas, I was astonished by the vast and many books. Our history was long and prosperous, though it wasn't without its wars. From what I've read, we have been plagued by greed and superiority complexs that spands generations. As much as I simply wanted to enjoy the wealth of centuries of past lives that came before me, it was only one life I was in search for. I scoured the entire library, looking for the earliest accounts. Considering Cimone was around the time the first King of our people was throned, I'm sure there wouldn't really be any knowledge before that time, if any, very limited. In the Chosen's lib

she said, her tone light but meaningful. “Do I get to know what it is?” “One part is a surprise.” She looked away and grinned. “But… the not surprise is the Donovan library.” My eyes widened. “The near-mythical Donovan library?” It was considered the best and most protected library in the country, beating out the temple and the Academy’s library. Legends said that an alpha king gifted it for safekeeping centuries ago, just before magic was completely persecuted out of the country. “I think it has several texts that you’d find interesting.” Her lips twitched. “They’d serve you more than me anyway.”

“I've visited libraries before, but this library is amazing.” “We have books of all kinds,” I commented proudly. "The library was an ancient construction of the first Alpha. It is said that he was a very learned man who wanted to give people access to as much knowledge as possible. He created a secure, magical place that can only be accessed by those who are allowed or who I invite." Selene looked at me with raised eyebrows. “This place is magical?” she asked incredulously. “Yes, it was a fortified shelter during the war; many lives were saved here,” I said serenely. "And it's where everyone comes. Usually, the more subway levels there are, the more they end up being used by hormonal teenage
