A brief literary divertimento about addiction to books, set in the quais and Paris auction rooms, full of fantasy and fun extravaganza, written by the great bibliophile and loyal friend of Baudelaire, Charles Asselineau.

Charles Asselineau born in Paris in 1820 and died in Châtelguyon in 1874. Son of a doctor, he began in his youth medical studies, but soon left to pursue his literary vocation. He collaborated in several magazines of his time, where among other things he published articles critical of art and stories. His bibliophile and erudite passion led him to rediscover and defend writers forgotten or little known by the public, among which Aloysius Bertrand and his great work Gaspard de la Nuit. Asselineau was one of the most faithful friends of Charles Baudelaire and wrote the first biography of the poet, which he defended with courage and intelligence. Bibliophile hell is one of the best known stories of the author; It is a small literary jewel dealing with fine humor of the bibliophile passion that knew so well Asselineau, owner of a selected library, and will delight all Amanee books.
