The Worlds' Best Bookshops
(2020·佛山质量检测) There's nothing like being surrounded by books,wherever you are.Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you.
Daikanyama Tsite|Tokyo
It is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful,crisscrossed architecture.Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves,there's the bar,the coffee shop,or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer.Grab a book,order a beer and dive into its pages.I could have stayed hours here.
City Lights|San Francisco
The threestorey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry,fiction,translation,politics,history and the arts.It hosts events and readings,and runs a nonprofit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature.It's opposite Vesuvio,a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat generation writers and artists.
Shakespeare and Company|Paris
I made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris.It has two floors packed with Englishlanguage texts,and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitorsheartfelt messages to a loved one,dedications to the shop itself,or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher.
Hutatma Chowk|Mumbai
A few years ago I visited India,investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country.I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarpcovered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' Square ).The booksellers here are like amateur librarians,able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for.To me,those wellthumbed (翻旧了的) books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling.
