Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. A near new book and D.J. that is u used and u nmarked. In the 1980s, a young adventurer and collector for a government library, Abdel Kader Haidara, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that had fallen into obscurity. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu tells the incredible story of how Haidara, a mild-mannered archivist and historian from the legendary city of Timbuktu, later became one of the world's greatest and most brazen smugglers. n 2012, thousands of Al Qaeda militants from northwest Africa seized control of most of Mali, including Timbuktu. They imposed Sharia law, chopped off the hands of accused thieves, stoned to death unmarried couples, and threatened to destroy the great manuscripts. As the militants tightened their control over Timbuktu, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350,000 volumes out of the city to the safety of southern Mali.

Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. in-8 br., 327 p., traduit de l'anglais, très bon état. Pour sauver les plus anciens et précieux manuscrits d'Afrique des autodafés d'Al-Qaïda, quelques habitants de Tombouctou, lecteurs et amoureux des livres vont monter un incroyable hold-up. Leur chef se nomme Abdel Kader Haïdara. Depuis les années 1980, il arpente le désert et recense les précieux manuscrits islamiques et préislamiques conservés dans les villages sahéliens. Pour préserver ces trésors de la terreur islamiste, ce bibliothécaire studieux va se transformer en un redoutable trafiquant. Joshua Hammer, grand reporter, nous embarque dans un récit plus haletant que n'importe quelle fiction, l'épopée palpitante de cette poignée de héros qui ont risqué leur vie pour que la littérature triomphe contre l'obscurantisme.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Hammer has pulled off the truly remarkable here-a book that is both important and a delight to read . . . It is also an inspirational reminder that, even as the forces of barbarism extend their thrall across so much of the Muslim world, there are still those willing to risk everything to preserve civilization. A superb rendering of a story that needs to be told.' - Scott Anderson, author of Lawrence in ArabiaTo 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 the 1980s, a young adventurer and collector for a government library, Abdel Kader Haidara, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that had fallen into obscurity. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu tells the incredible story of how Haidara, a mild-mannered archivist and historian from the legendary city of Timbuktu, later became one of the world's greatest and most brazen smugglers.In 2012, thousands of Al Qaeda militants from northwest Africa seized control of most of Mali, including Timbuktu.

As the militants tightened their control over Timbuktu, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350,000 volumes out of the city to the safety of southern Mali.Over the past twenty years, journalist Joshua Hammer has 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 heritage. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu is an inspiring and entertaining account of the victory of art and literature over extremism. 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 and Indiana Jones.
