TOP 8:El Péndulo in Mexico
The Polanco branch of Pendulo in Mexico City has long been known as one of the best ways to beat the heat in the largest city in the world。
它一直被認(rèn)為是墨西哥城內(nèi)最佳避暑地之一。
Although it only has a small English language section, its open architecture populated with several trees makes for an excellent afternoon's escape. In honesty, as popular for its excellent cafe as it is its books。
書店為開放式建筑,植有亭亭綠樹,適合午后遠(yuǎn)離塵囂。
TOP 9:Keibunsya in Kyoto
If you love bookshops even where you can't read the language, then Keibunsya in Kyoto needs to be on your list too. Some say it's the lighting, others the well-proportioned panels around the walls. Or perhaps it's the little galleries embedded in the bookshelves。
有人喜歡它的燈光,有人喜歡它墻上比例勻稱的架板,還有人喜歡它錯(cuò)落于書架間的“小型畫展”。
Most agree it's just the quiet dignity of the place that's hard to beat. Lots of pretty Japanese art books to marvel at and a few English language ones as well。
許多讀者一致認(rèn)同,惠文社靜謐、高貴的氣氛為書店中罕見。在這里,你可靜享日本藝術(shù)書籍和部分英文讀物。
TOP 10:Hatchards in London
Although the bookshop of Cambridge University is technically the oldest bookshop in Britain, Hatchards of Piccadilly, which has been trading since 1797, is definitely the most aristocratic。
位于皮卡迪利廣場的哈查茲書店堪稱英國最有年頭的貴族書店。它誕生于1797年,是英國女王的書籍供應(yīng)商。
Not only does it boast three royal warrants, meaning it supplies books to Her Majesty, it has counted Disraeli, Wilde and Byron among its regulars. Today it retains the spirit of days past, with an interior described by one follower as "reminiscent of being inside a rambling old house, with six floors of small rooms all linked together curling around a central staircase."
英國政治家本杰明·迪斯累里、詩人喬治·戈登·拜倫、文豪奧斯卡·王爾德都曾是此地??汀H缃?,它仍保有昔日的靈魂。
