Three bookshelves are filled from floor to ceiling.
The first is lined with old textbooks, defunct remedies, obsolete tricks, and discarded tales.
The second contains aberrations in herbal medicine, and the theories of abiogenesis, embryogenesis, and descent from parents suggesting that they might have been produced by chance alone.
The third doesn’t contain books, but rather papers, of the physical and of the literary kind, on which the future history of the arts and conflict may be built. Here we register histories of the war, the development of photography, the accounts of world events, local customs, notions of right and wrong, aesthetic conceptions of the past, imaginary connections drawn by missionaries, encyclopaedists, and philosophers, the histories and biographies of generals who marched on the front-lines of the battle for the allied cause, of generals who built up their empires, and of generals who sent their only sons into battle.
