A Livraria dos Livros Proibidos (Capa mole)

The concept of a secret library that defies censorship is so intriguing. I'm curious whether this idea was inspired by real events or personal passions for literature.

The descriptions made me think of my favorite childhood bookstores and the thrill of discovering secret rooms or rare books. Did the author intend to evoke that feeling?

The setting feels deeply rooted in French literary tradition. I wonder what led to the choice of framing the narrative around French history and identity.
