When the town fell into the hands of Islamists in 2012, the books were threatened with destruction. But a group of librarians and archivists smuggle the books out of the city at the risk of their lives. A great, masterful documentary about people who courageously oppose the destruction of a treasure trove of knowledge and the heritage of mankind &#8211; and a journey through time to a city shrouded in legend.   <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ed2f75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"0ed2f75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/hoffmann-und-campe.de\/products\/50918-die-buecherschmuggler-von-timbuktu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"#000000\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\" width=\"64px\" height=\"64px\"><path d=\"M 16.113281 6.2050781 L 13.064453 8.7949219 L 31.578125 32.003906 L 13.0625 55.308594 L 16.115234 57.892578 L 37.701172 33.9375 L 39.451172 31.996094 L 37.697266 30.056641 L 16.113281 6.2050781 z M 33.113281 6.2050781 L 30.064453 8.7949219 L 48.578125 32.003906 L 30.0625 55.308594 L 33.115234 57.892578 L 54.701172 33.9375 L 56.451172 31.996094 L 54.697266 30.056641 L 33.113281 6.2050781 z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">About the book<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book smugglers of Timbuktu &#8211;
