An evocative post-apocalyptic vision of loss, love and redemption ...
Last man on earth—I’m beginning to fantasize that. The last human survivor! Seems very unlikely, in a world inhabited by so many millions of people in so many cities, so many countries. But in this silence—who knows? Actually, I think it’s the silence, and my deepening sense of isolation, that are encouraging me to think I may be alone, completely alone. —But how will I find out for sure, now that radio and TV and newspapers and the Internet and of course social media have all gone? So, don’t even think about it! If I am the last, there’s nobody out there to care! Keep active, exercise—think and write. No returned books to re-shelve now—or very few, the final few. However, I always did find pleasure and some company, or illusion of company, in books—and in my own writing, those unpublished poems and short stories piled up in my closet at home! So now here I am taking refuge again in the comfort of words? Beloved words! Of course nobody will read the ones I write now, almost certainly they won’t. So who am I writing them for? Myself, I guess. My other self. The urge to communicate remains, remains to the end?—even if only with oneself.
So begins Librarian, a compelling short novel of survival and the search for meaning. Compelling characters and thought-provoking meditations on the meaning of philosophy and literature in a world gone wrong make Librarian a book you won’t put down—and won’t soon forget.
"To live through a devastating event, to become isolated from one’s fellow humans and to face a crisis of diminishing resources is the all-to-real nightmare of our time. When, in Librarian by Peter Abbot, this happens to Peter, a university librarian in a mid-size town in Canada, he is challenged to discover and develop his own ability to survive, to search for signs of human life, and to preserve the cultural heritage for whomever else might have survived this mysterious armageddon. Librarian is a story of both inner and outer resources as the physical struggle to survive becomes a search for human warmth and meaning." -- John Passfield, author of Pompeii

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
