You can hire a person in a London Library |
|
The idea of such library came from Scandinavia. Instead of books the readers can hire a person for a 30 minutes conversation. The offered "alive" books are every time different, but each time they represent a wide specter of human stereotypes. In the last weekend the small but rich choice has included a Police Officer, Vegetarian, Man-Nurse and Eternal Activist, a Person with Mental Disease and a Young Man expelled from School. The Times journalist that has also taken part in the project was gay. In the catalog of the "alive books" several negative properties were indicated, that the reader could face during the conversation. The Man-Nurse was characterized as "elegant" and "tending to pedophilia". The Police Officer has been characterized as "corrupt". The first one to get read was the Social Employee ("naive") and the Immigrant ("spending his time in vain") and after that somebody wanted to "read" a Muslim. The Gay-Journalist has been taken by a young Romanian girl that lives in London now. The journalist confesses that before he has been "read", he didn't think about - what it is to be a book. He was not sure where he should have started at - from the first chapter or she will open a page on her own. They have discussed the problems of homosexuality and the problems of the immigrants from the Eastern Europe. "After that our time was over and she took me back down the stairs to the announcement desk. The conversation was short and pleasant and I have realized that I want to know more about the inhabitants of the Eastern Europe",- tells the journalist. The founder of the "Alive Library" Ronny Aibergel says: "We work according to the principle that supposes that between unfamiliar people there arises an excessive cruelty and aggression. Alive Library will help to unite people that wouldn't meet in any other way. We want to show that not every Muslim wants to blow us and not every policeman is a cutthroat". According to his words, the first Alive Library has been organized at a musical festival in Denmark in 2000 and since that time the movement continues to grow, mostly in Norway and Hungary. It was the first of the "many" libraries that he plans to organize in Great Britain and he is now working on the details of a series of upcoming events around the whole country. |
