That is one heavy read. 📚⚖️
This bench at the British Library is a powerful reminder of how much weight words can carry.

There’s something about the scale of the British Library that makes these quiet moments feel even more still.

“One day you look and see one of them
eyeless, silent, a zigzag sky showing
through the knocked-out clockwork, after a riot,
a peace-march time bomb, or a precise act
of nature in a night of lightnings.”
A K Ramanujan (1971)

Concertina style book with black twisted foliage illustrations surrounding a cut out aperture in each page
An overview of the whole book
I love books. I love art. Books as art is a wonderful concept. These are in the British Library's free exhibition, a quick look-see before catching the train back up North. Well worth a visit if you are near. #bookart #britishlibrary #pagansky #moths #natureart #dusking #booksky

First Folio edition of Shakespeare's plays open at a picture of the Bard himself.
Handwritten page of dialogue from Monty Pythons 'Spanish Inquisition', where they are numbering their weapons and it keeps increasing. This page was donated to the library from Michael Palin's collection.
Arrived in London and first place visited is the British Library for a wander around the Treasures exhibition.
So many incredible documents on display, some approaching a thousand years old and others from within my lifetime.

My first day back at the British Library after their debilitating cyber attack. It was SO good getting my hands on proper books, texts & maps. There is nothing like good old-fashioned research to get the juices flowing.

7 Days to 250: Jane Austen's Writing Desk
She lacked a room of her own, but Austen did have this portable desk, a gift from her father in 1794, with a sloped writing surface, space for ink and pen, and a lockable drawer. Image from the British Library. #JaneAusten250 #books #BritishLibrary

Dünyanın hafızası sayılan British Library (Britanya Kütüphanesi), romanım "Kayıp Kedi Heykelinin Sırrı"nı koleksiyonuna katmak üzere satın alma kararı aldı.
Eserimin Londra'da, dünya mirasının arasında korunacak olması, bir Siyaset Bilimi uzmanı ve yazar olarak benim için büyük onur.

Following a major #CyberHack of its systems two years ago the #BritishLibrary remains in crisis.
@simonxix.com argues that for the institution to recover it needs refocus on the people, skills and systems that enable it to function.

If you loved espionage, secret maps and letters that were used during missions and wars. You must visit the ‘Secret Maps’ exhibition at the British Library. Totally absorbing and fascinating!

The Round Reading Room at the British Museum was historical a quiet place for study & reflection. People were often removed for being too noisy! #britishmuseum #archives #EYASilence #britishlibrary #readingroom
