Sobre este artículo
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2016. 278 pages, map; 22 cm. SIGNED by the author on a literary society bookplate pasted onto the flyleaf. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "To save precious centuries-old Arabic texts from Al Qaeda, a band of librarians in Timbuktu pulls off a brazen heist worthy of Ocean's Eleven. In 2012, thousands of Al Qaeda militants from northwest Africa seized control of most of Mali, including Timbuktu. Over the past twenty years, journalist Joshua Hammer visited Timbuktu numerous times and is uniquely qualified to tell the story of Haidara's heroic and ultimately successful effort to outwit Al Qaeda and preserve Mali's--and the world's--literary patrimony." - Publisher.. SIGNED. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
