17家特別的書店(中)
6.Powell's Books
Powell's Books has been a Portland landmark for more than 40 years. Founded in 1971, the original Powell's Books is housed in an old car dealership. (I mean, imagine an Oregon car dealership full of books!)
40多年來(lái),鮑威爾書店一直是波特蘭的地標(biāo)。最早的鮑威爾書店創(chuàng)建于1971年,坐落在一家舊汽車經(jīng)銷店里。(我的意思是,想象一下俄勒岡州的一家汽車經(jīng)銷店,里面擺滿了書!)
7.E. Shaver, Bookseller
Opened in 1975, E. Shaver, Bookseller is located in historic Savannah and specializes in regional topics from architecture to gardening. Considered a local treasure, one allure of the store is the collection of antique maps that can be found between its bookshelves. (Also alluring: The shop's two cats who are happy to cuddle with browsers.) The store was up for sale in 2013, but Esther Shaver instead found a co-owner in an employee in 2015.
書店于1975年開(kāi)業(yè),位于歷史悠久的薩凡納,主要是從建筑到園藝領(lǐng)域主題的書。這家商店被認(rèn)為是當(dāng)?shù)氐墓鍖?,它的一個(gè)吸引人的地方是它書架之間的古董地圖收藏。(同樣吸引人的還有:店里的兩只貓,它們很樂(lè)意和瀏覽者擁抱。)2013年,這家店打算出售,但埃絲特·謝弗在2015年找到了一名員工,與他共同經(jīng)營(yíng)這家店。
8.Boekhandel Dominicanen
Offering another breathtaking setting, this bookstore in the Netherlands is situated in a 700-year-old Dominican church — but you won’t find any sermons here (there haven’t been any since 1794). The mixture of gothic architecture and modern furnishings makes this bookstore one of the most unique on the list. The bookstore was previously part of the Selexyz chain, but the chain has since been bought and renamed.
荷蘭的這家書店坐落在一座有著700年歷史的多米尼加教堂里,提供了另一種令人驚嘆的環(huán)境——但你在這里找不到任何布道(自1794年以來(lái)就沒(méi)有任何布道)。哥特式建筑和現(xiàn)代家具的結(jié)合使這家書店成為榜單上最獨(dú)特的書店之一。這家書店以前是Selexyz連鎖店的一部分,但后來(lái)被收購(gòu)并改名。
9.Shakespeare & Company
The history of Shakespeare & Company is more than just that of a bookstore. George Whitman founded the Paris bookstore in 1951 with the name Le Mistral, but changed the name in 1964 after becoming inspired by bookseller Sylvia Beach, the woman who operated the first Shakespeare & Company. Whitman had traveled the world, at times facing hunger and thirst for days on end, finally finding hospitality in locals. His experiences shaped his store's philosophy, and for decades it has been, as the store’s website puts it, "a home-away-from-home for many thousands of writers and visitors from around the world."
莎士比亞公司的歷史不僅僅是書店的歷史。1951年,喬治•惠特曼以“西北風(fēng)”的名字創(chuàng)建了這家巴黎書店,但1964年,受到經(jīng)營(yíng)第一家莎士比亞公司的女書商西爾維婭•比奇的啟發(fā),為書店改了名字。惠特曼周游世界,有時(shí)一連幾天面臨饑餓和干渴,終于遇到了熱情好客的當(dāng)?shù)厝?。他的?jīng)歷塑造了這家店的理念,幾十年來(lái),正如這家店的網(wǎng)站所說(shuō),“對(duì)于來(lái)自世界各地的成千上萬(wàn)的作家和游客來(lái)說(shuō),這里就像一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)的家。”
10.Livraria Lello
Among the oldest bookstores in Portugal, Livraria Lello’s neo-gothic exterior and intriguing staircase were designed by architect Xavier Esteves. Visitors can find food and wine on the top floor of the bookstore, and Portuguese, English and French books all around.
在葡萄牙最古老的書店中,Livraria Lello的新哥特式外觀和迷人的樓梯是由建筑師Xavier Esteves設(shè)計(jì)的。游客可以在書店的頂層找到食物和葡萄酒,到處都是葡萄牙語(yǔ)、英語(yǔ)和法語(yǔ)書籍。
11.Daunt Books Marylebone
Three book-filled levels invite customers to browse through travel books about every corner of the globe. The chain's Marylebone High Street location in London (pictured) is rumored to be the first custom-built bookstore.
滿滿三層樓的書籍邀請(qǐng)客戶瀏覽世界各地的旅游書籍。據(jù)傳,這家連鎖書店位于倫敦馬里波恩高街,是第一家定制書店。
