Nessa biblioteca, o herói d’O Castelo embarcaria no Pequod, em busca do Santo Graal, acostaria numa ilha deserta e, usando fragmentos dados à costa, reconstruiria a sociedade a partir das suas ruínas, relataria o seu primeiro encontro centenário com o gelo e recordaria, em penoso pormenor, como se recolhia cedo à cama.» — Alberto Manguel”
