"Un livre est une créature fragile il souffre de l'usure du temps il craint les rongeurs les éléments les mains maladroites"
— Umberto Eco
Simplified Meaning:
Books can easily get damaged over time. They can be harmed by things like moisture, sunlight, dust, and pests such as mice or insects. If you handle them roughly or don't take care of them, the pages can tear, and the cover can get worn out. Think of an old family photo album. If you leave it in a damp basement, the pictures might stick together or get moldy. Just like the album, books need to be kept in a dry, safe place and handled with care. By protecting your books, you can enjoy them for many years and even pass them on to others.
