Alexandria

Summary:

The way society is built has gone very wrong, and only a handful of individuals care. Together with an individual from another world, our main character Alexandria comes to rebuild the history and understanding of the world through a life which ties in to several literary works. If all goes well, they will together create a world where people are truly free. If not, then at least one of them will die in the names of freedom, choice, hope, and or change.

Alexandria (the work) seeks to capture the messages of already existing literature (at least one message per referenced work) and incorporate them into one overarching plot about the importance of literature throughout history.

Updates weekly.

The Great Library was said to be the largest in the world.

If a book was brought to a port, a copy would be made or the library.

The sheer size of the library database lured the best and most famous researchers.

In the mater of hours, the library was destroyed.

In a matter of days, Egypt had a new ruler.

In a mater of months, the people of Alexandria were slaves.

Within decades, any written record of history which could be found was destoryed.

This is the legend of the Great Library of Alexandria, passed down from parent to child for generations.

 

I just wish ...

Notes:

Consider this Chapter 0. The story hasn't begun yet, I just wanted to set the stage.

Don't worry, I'm going to dedicate a chapter to explaining the text which does not seem to be part of the story telling.
