What We Want To Protect
For the memorable first content of my blog, I’d like to introduce a book. I struggled quite a bit deciding which book to introduce, haha. After all, it’s the very first post. I love books. Reading allows you to travel while staying in place. It also lets you converse with the author. It gives you perspectives you don’t have. I take books with me wherever I go. I can’t possibly feel at ease without one, and if I forget to bring one, I love books so much that I want to stop by a bookstore and buy a new one. That’s enough about my love for books; let’s get to the main topic. For this memorable first book, I’ll introduce a picture book. It’s called “The Bookbinder.” I bought it for my child, but I ended up becoming completely fascinated with it, and I’ve taken the liberty of placing it at the very front of my child’s bookshelf where it’s visible. In France, there is a profession called “relieur.” “Relieur” means “bookbinding” in French. Craftsmen called “artisans” repair broken books by hand. Not only do they repair them, but they also value the memories of those who used the books,
