Abstract:Short film which traces the history of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which was launched in 288 B.C. Its slow disappearance began with a fire in 48 B.C and by 400 A.D. the library had vanished. 1600 years later it came to life again with support from Unesco. [Abstract reproduced from video-dvd]
