Graphic Novel Book Club for Adults: The Library Mule of Cordoba

Whether you’re a seasoned fan or new to the format, dive into the vibrant world of graphic novels – where stunning visuals meet compelling narratives.

The selection for August is The Library Mule of Cordoba by Wilfrid Lupano.

Radical clergymen, in exchange for their support of the illegitimate pretender, want to see the 400,000 books in Cordoba’s library burn. The night before the biggest bonfire ever, the head librarian, a eunuch named Tarid, gathers all the books he can and loads them onto the back of a passing mule. He takes off in hopes of saving what he can of universal knowledge. Joined by a young copyist and a former apprentice who went on to become a thief and vagabond, Tarid and his lazy, over-burdened “bibliomule” set out on a madcap adventure: crossing nearly all of Spain with Berber mercenaries in hot pursuit.
